Hi John,
I read your solicitation this afternoon when it popped up, and spoke to
my eldest son who has retired from a career working with many different
kinds of computers. He came to mind because, in December, as Windows 7
was coming to an end, he spec'd out a new iMac for me, ordered it and
set it up to get me into Apple Land. I asked him about your proposal to
Format the external SSD as Mac extended journaled, and he said that is
what he did with mine.
He is careful about giving out technical advice, and asked me to wait a
while and see if you received any other offers of advice, before
stepping forward. Since the Olympus wires have been fairly quiet this
evening, I thought I would pass it on. He says there are several ways
to approach the task, but he felt what you are suggesting would probably
be the most trouble-free.
Hope this helps, and good luck. I am enjoying the iMac.

Hi all. Advice please from Mac users.
I am using a 2012 27" Mac running High Sierra, and a 2017 Macbook air
running Catalina. I have just bought a 1Tb Crucial external SSD. I
want to be able to transfer photo folders between machines as well as
having a number of folders stored in one place.Is it acceptable to
Format it simply as Mac extended journaled and transfer photo folders
as I need them?
Also a scanner update. I became really P*ssed off with the non
ability to play nicely with both machines due to lack of support from
Canon. I donated the machine to charity and bought an Epson V550
Photo.(in the 2 wks since buying it the price on Amazon UK has
increased by £30. ) After a battle with scanner software and total
lack of printed manual , I finally....after about 8hrs ! got it to
talk to both machines.First results are promising....But I despair
when I have to run software on a Windoze to find out how to install it
on a Mac .!!!
