[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1924591, member: 83420"] That's a really interesting comment. Without the background knowledge you stated, I find that I have followed that process - not because I was clever, but because when APFS appeared, it was suggested that EHDs should be APFS if that Drive was only being used with Macs running APFS as part of the OS; but Mac OS Extended (Journaled) if a drive was likely to be used on Non-APFS Macs or used to transfer data elsewhere. Now, you have provided the background info and reason why this is so. Ian [/QUOTE]
