samsung T5 external ssd

[dennis campbell]

external ssd will not partition, can create no recovery drive for sierria (using carbon copy cloner) to create boot drive on imac late 2015... utilities partition greyed out on both imac and lap top even after reformating. says t5 partition scheme incompatible with mac osx intel.....any work arounds ????

Open Disk Utility and enable Show All Devices like in my screenshot. Then select the drive itself above the volume name like where mine says asmedia.... Now click the erase button and configure like in my screenshot and click erase. That should fix you up.
