Ableton Forum

Hi!

Just got Live Suite 11 and now starting. I have Samsung T7 Shield ssd external hard drive, formatted as APFS and with loads of samples etc. Is APFS ok? Wouldn't want to go that road and start to erase and formatting...

This got me alerted, in Ableton help page:

External drives should be formatted for your operating system.

Windows: NTFS
macOS: HFS+ (Mac OS Extended)

I use APFS on my T7 drives in a professional studio, never had any issues and I’ll do it that way again when I get new drives.

APFS is a superior system...
