Want to format drive for a new motherboard

[Seeking]

Almost finished a new build. I am keeping my current TB HD drive. I WANT to format it. Should I format before switching to new board or format after installing in new system?

Thanks

doesnt matter. either way will work the same.

As N3rdR4ge states, it doesn't matter, but since you can format during the OS installation process, I don't see any reason not to format when it's already installed into the new system.

Thanks N3rdR4ge. I didn't think it would matter but I wanted to be sure. It's kind of like "measure twice and cut once" (Old wood worker) 🙂

Thanks for the suggestion Wolfshadow. I was leaning that way.
