I’m trying to install a new WD Elements Basic Storage 4TB drive to my Mac.
I have several of these drives before.
I my Mac to partition it, it comes up with error message “not enough storage” or The disk is too large to be supported by the given partition scheme.
Operation failed…

I have around 50GB left on my Mac. I’ve tried two different computers, I’ve tried both to partition and to erase.

Advice welcome.
Thanks
