how can I find out which mac format my external hard drive has

I have a PD LaCie drive. I had formatted it about a month ago, but now reading several posts, it appears that the best format is mac OS extended (journaled). I am not sure if that is the one that I had originally chosen. How do I find out which format my external hard drive has?

Thanks.

Select it on the desktop or in the Finder's sidebar and choose Get Info from the File menu. If it doesn't show up in either location, check the settings in the General and Sidebar tabs of the Finder's preferences.
