Click the Format pop-up menu, then choose a file system format. (Optional) If available, click Security Options, use the slider to choose how many times to write over the erased data, then click OK. Secure erase options are available only for some types of storage devices. If you want to use USB flash drive for Time Machine backups, then you should consider Mac OS Extended format. The reason is that APFS disk does not provide supports for Time Machine backups. Moreover, if you prefer this format, then it will provide you with the option for reformatting USB drive using Mac OS Extended format.

Format Flash Drive Mac Os Extended Vs Exfat

I have a flash drive thats currently on MS-DOS and I want to make it hfs+. I plugged it in my computer and opened disk utility. I selected it, went to the erase tab, and set the format as mac os extended (journaled). i pressed erase and the progress bar goes half way, but gets stuck at 'formatting disk5s2 as Mac OS Extended (journaled) with name Untitled'. after a long time, it says disk erase failed. Disk Erase failed with error: File system formatter failed. can anyone help me?

Format Flash Drive Mac Os Extended

Jan 15, 2019 So if you think you might need to plug the USB drive into a Mac running an older version of macOS, format it as Mac OS Extended. APFS is optimized for SSD (solid state drive) such as flash drives, so if you reformat a flash drive on a Mac, you should definitely choose APFS (unless you plan to use it with a pre-High Sierra Mac, of course). The Mac OS Extended partition created by GParted will not be journaled. However, we can use Disk Utility to Enable Journaling. Or use the following command to format Mac OS Extended to Mac OS Extended (Journaled): sudo mkfs.hfsplus -J /dev/sdaX /dev/sdaX is the partition you want to format. Convert to APFS.
