Question about formatting a new 32GB flash drive
I bought a new 32GB flash drive and formatted it but would like to know if I should also erase it.
To format it, I made one partition on it, Mac OS Extended (Journaled), GUID. But I see there is about 20% blue space in the partition (it's brand new - - maybe it came with a program on it from the manufacturer?).
Do I need to erase the disk or should I leave it the way it is?
If I should erase it, which erase setting should I use?
I will be using it to backup some items from my iMac.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Mid-2007
