Your device is preformatted exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table) for compatibility with both Mac and
Windows computers.
Choosing a file system format
When choosing a file system format, consider whether compatibility or performance is more important in
your everyday use of the drive.
Compatibility—You need a cross-platform format because you connect your drive to both PCs and Macs.
Performance—You connect your drive with only one type of computer, so you can optimize file copy

errors occur or the drive is not disconnected properly from the computer.

one-way transfer with Macs, consider exFAT.
Opmized performance for macOS
Apple offers two proprietary file systems.
