The Toshiba Canvio Basics external hard drive (1 TB) is pre-formatted in NTFS for Microsoft Windows operating systems. To use this hard drive with other operating systems, such as macOS, it needs to be reformatted.

If you wish to format it in exFAT, it is possible to do so, but you will have to reformat the hard drive manually. However, be sure to have a backup of your data before reformatting, as this process will erase all data on the hard drive.
