    Thank you for this! I watched (sort of) several videos on this. They all seemed way too complicated for what I think I need. This straight forward delivery was VERY HELPFUL. Thanks for putting time into this.

    Have you tried using it with iPhone 15 Pro? I m thinking about converting mine into APFS hoping to fix errors I have with my exfat formatted drive...

    • @358studios
      @358studios  7 місяців тому

      Hi @user-kd1du1yp4g, I'm glad it helped. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it. I have not tested this, but I'm going to say that your iPhone 15 Pro would much rather read APFS format then EXfat formatted and drives. I do have a video that I'm going to release soon that describes how to do a transfer to an SSD Drive from an SD card using a simple adapter and your iPhone. That's where I come up with the love for APFS idea.
      Please let me know how it works out for you.

    If formatted to the APFS will the SSD work on my iPad? I use these SSDs to move files from iPad and iPhone 15 pro to my MacBook Pro..Thanks for the info.

    • @358studios
      @358studios  Рік тому +1

      Hi @SilverVagabonds, sorry about the delay. I thought I had replied to this comment. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it. Yes, if you are using Apple products, the format of choice is APFS. That format is optimized for SSD drives and unique to Apple. Just a quick reminder, you will erase everything on your SSD drive when you format so please back it up unless it's a brand new drive. I hope that helps.

    What about formatting an Internal drive? I don't have the erase button for mine. It is a Kingston which replaced the original HD. I'm trying to update to Catalina and can't because my drive isn't APFS.

    • @358studios
      @358studios  9 місяців тому

      Hi @Stephanie-er9xj, thank you for asking. I appreciate it. Are you able to provide me with more details?
      What year is your Mac and is the HD an SSD or spinning HD? Is the computer seeing your drive in Internet Recovery? What happens when you try to boot (power up) the computer?
      Please let me know and I'll see if I can help.

      Hi @hndrxxbeats, thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it. Anytime you hear or see the words FORMAT you can assume that everything on the disk will be erased. Be sure that you make a backup and/or move the data you want to a different drive. I hope this helps.

      Hi @ericgonzalez_5187, I'm glad it helped. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it. There's no way to satisfy everyone with the pace of videos. Some people want faster. Some people want it to slow down. I've gotten faster over the years because of the complaints of going too slow :-).
      Best advice I can give is to pause the video and rewind if I'm going too quick. There should be chapter markers as well to replay a section.
      I realize some of this technical stuff moves along at a rapid pace, but it's the best solution I've found to satisfy the larger audience. LOL.
