I have just upgraded my 27" 2017 3TB Fusion Drive Retina iMac from High Sierra to Mojave - no problems at all. I have a question regarding using external hard drives. I have formatted a 4TB ehd (non SSD) for use with Carbon Copy Cloner - no problems, but don't know what to do regarding my Time Machine ehd (spinner) - is it recommended to leave it as formatted (Mac OSX Extended, journalled) or start over with a new APFS formatted ehd? One last question - I have 3 blank unused ehd (Lacie 4TB and WD 2TB) USB3 spinners, should these be formatted as APFS when I have need of them in the future?
Many thanks for your help.
