Just emptied my drive, anything I should do before I put data back on?

Hey guys, I just cleared out one of my external HDDs down to nothing, and just did a standard format (Windows 10) to NTFS and default allocation size. I was wondering if there is anything else I should do to the HDD before I start using it again?

Nope, that should do it.

And to keep it working well best to safely eject it by clicking the safely remove icon in notification area in the future to prevent data corruption issues.

Awesome, thank you for the response!
