How to format a new Samsung T7 SSD

Hi Stringvibrato

If you’re only going to use the Samsung T7 with your Mac, open Disk Utility, select View → Show All Devices, choose the top-level T7 drive, and click Erase. Select APFS as the format and GUID Partition Map as the scheme.

If you also want to use it with Windows, choose exFAT instead. Just make sure you select the T7 and not your Mac’s internal drive;), since erasing will delete everything on it.
