Hi everyone,

I just bought a new portable SSD to take along with my macbook when i travel.

If i am only going to be using it with my macbook (and my mac studio) when i get back home.

Is formatting the portable SSD APFS the way to go?

 

Thanks

Yes, if both computers are Macs, then APFS is the best formatting.
