If this is an external disk, I recommend using XFAT. This format will allow you to use the drive on either Mac or Windows as necessary.

It is currently formatted for Windows, which means I can’t write to it. I plan to use it to store things like books, movies, music and the like. APFS case sensitive, encrypted, etc? I was about to erase it when I realized I was not quite sure what format to choose. I do not need to keep the two or three PDF files that came with it, and that is all that is on the disc.
