Use GUID, That way you have the option to work with both windows and mac,
Also I myself would format as xFat so you can use it across platforms. If your only going to use it with apple computers then use APFS But GUID is what your asking for. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of maurice.mines Sent: Wednesday, 31 July 2019 10:22 AM To: 'E.T.' via MacVisionaries <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Subject: a question about partition maps on a very large thumb drive? Hi, here’s the situation I am trying to get a very large thumb drive ready for use. When I go to format the drive and disk utility. I asked what partition map what I like to use. Which of the following choices makes the most sense? GU ID, MBR, or Apple partition map? The thumb drive in question is 250 GB. This machine does have a boot camp area. Does the type of partition map matter in the long For instance if I set this to “guid ” or should it stay and be Mbr to allow for both operating systems to access this drive? Any thoughts?
