Trying to encrypt Samsung SSD T7 Shield - can't choose APFS/GUID
Hi all. I have a M1 MacBook Pro 16 inch 2021, on Ventura 13.2.1.
I have read loads of threads but can't resolve the issue.
I've just bought the Samsung T7 shield and want to erase and encrypt the drive. I don't want to use the Samsung software. I believe that I need to select APFS or GUID, but this isn't an option.
When I go to erase, I can only choose from the following Formats (see pic):
-Mac OS Extended (journaled)
-Mac OS Extended (case sensitive)
-MS-DOS (FAT)
-ExFAT.
I also tried right-clicking on the drive, where it does list APFS but this doesn't work (see pics).
I'd welcome any suggestions and help.
Thank you in advance
