Overview

The purpose of this article is to create a disk that can be read / written to by all major operating systems (i.e., macOS, Windows and Linux). A removable USB storage device containing SSD or NVMe media can be used for this purpose. At this time of this writing (January 02, 2020) a removable USB-C drive containing a CORSAIR FORCE Series MP500 120GB NVMe storage device will be demonstrated.

The USB drive is attached to an NST system as device: "/dev/sdc". The parted disk utility will be used to create the GUID Partition Table (GPT), the EFI System Partition and the exFAT parition.
