APFS (Encrypted) seems secure for a bootable installer.

B) Mac OS Extended (Encrypted) is the only way to go. Gotta keep that data locked down.

Haha, who even uses external storage these days? Just use the cloud, bro.

I'm leaning towards Mac OS Extended, but I feel like I need to double-check if APFS is actually required for Recovery features.

I remember something about APFS being the newer format, but I can't recall if it supports Recovery on external drives.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think APFS is the right choice for bootable installers, but I could be wrong.

I think it might be Mac OS Extended, but I'm not entirely sure if it needs to be encrypted for the installer.

Hmm, I'm a little torn between APFS (Encrypted) and the regular APFS. The encrypted version might be overkill, but I also don't want to risk any issues with the installer. I think I'll go with the encrypted APFS to play it safe.

I'm pretty confident APFS (Encrypted) is the way to go here. That's going to give you the best security and reliability for a bootable macOS installer, especially one that includes Recovery. Can't go wrong with that option.

Okay, let me think this through. I know the question is specifically asking about the disk format, so I'll need to carefully consider the differences between APFS and Mac OS Extended. The encrypted versions might provide extra security, but could that cause any compatibility issues?

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure on this. I know APFS is the newer file system, but would the encrypted version really be necessary for a bootable installer? Maybe the regular APFS would work just as well.
