外付けSSDを初期化したい I am trying to format it for the first time. It's not dedicated to time machine, I just want to initialize it and remove 3 years worth of garbage. I thought that if I right-clicked on the Extreme SSD icon in the Finder, there would be a format option, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Q1:Disk Utility has a menu called "Erase". Should I press this icon? Q2: Could you please tell me if there are any precautions to take when initializing an external SSD? *Data has been backed up. -- Specifications: MacBookPro2020, macOS Ventura13.6, SunDisk Extreme SSD 500GB(APFS)

The Samsung "EVO" series SSDs are junk. Either live with it the way it is, or replace it with an SSD from a manufacturer that visibly supports Macs.
