I chose to make 2 partitions on my WD USB external drives: I left the existing NTFS partition, but I shrank it in half so I could also create a Linux "ext4" partition. If you are only going to use the drive for backing up, then you can use whatever you want, leave the existing NTFS file system, or format it using the typical Linux "ext4" format. This depends upon what you want to use your USB external drive for. If you run " inxi -Fxzd" and " lsusb" from the console terminal prompt, highlight the results, copy and paste them back here, that should provide enough information. It would help to know more about your system setup. Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux Mint and its excellent forum!
