You don't need to format the disk again if you want to use the disk for regular backup with Windows and Mac. ExFat is an upgraded version of the FAT32 file system, which limits the maximum file size to 4GB. ExFat is also compatible with Windows as well, and the SSD will work with both Windows and Mac. This is enough to run the SSD as a backup drive for your Mac. Samsung SSD comes in ExFat format by default. There are some disk formats and the selection chart are followed above steps, those who want to know more details about the available disk and chart formats in Mac Disk Utility, please refer below Default SSD Format Next time, you don't need to select the disk or start the backup, the whole process is automatic and the system will start the Time Machine and choose the backup disk itself once you connect the SSD to your Mac. Once you select a backup device, the system will consider the disk as Time Machine and always assign the same disk to Time Machine in the future. Once the backup is complete, the status will change to Completed and you can safely eject the disc. You can see the backup status in the Mac Top menu.
