LaCie Portable SSD is preformatted exFAT for compatibility with both Mac and Windows computers. If you
use the drive with only one type of computer, you can optimize file copy performance by formatting the
drive in the native file system for your operating system. There are two ways you can optimize
performance:
Toolkit Optimize Format your drive for optimal performance with just a few simple clicks.
Manual formatting Use Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (Mac) to format your drive in non-
native formats.
About file system formats
NTFSThe native file system for Windows. macOS can read NTFS volumes but cannot natively write to
them.
Mac OS Extended (HFS+)—An Apple file system optimized for macOS 10.12 and earlier. This file system
remains the best option for external hard hard drives and is the only format compatible with Time Machine.
Windows cannot natively read or write to HFS+ (journaled) volumes.
APFS (Apple File System)An Apple file system optimized for solid state drives (SSDs) and flash-based
storage systems. Note the following restrictions:
You cannot use an APFS-formatted disk as your Time Machine backup drive. Format LaCie Portable SSD
to HFS+ if you intend to use it with Time Machine.
APFS is only supported on macOS 10.13 or later.
exFAT—Compatible with Mac and Windows. exFAT is not a journaled file system which means it can be
more susceptible to data corruption when errors occur or the drive is not disconnected properly from the
computer.
FAT32—Compatible with Mac and Windows. However, FAT32 is a legacy file system designed for low
capacity hard drives and it is not recommended for modern hard drives or operating systems. A FAT32
partition can reach up to 32GB when formatted on a Windows PC.
