Why the fuck do I need to do internet shit for this? I just want

You don't need internet to use that storage. I actually have that same one and it's just some shitty application that came in the hard drive. I just formatted it and it works fine.
Why do you need a SATA cable for it? You can just use the USB 3.0 cable that came with it, unless your Mac doesn't have a USB port. Then again, you did say you were going to get a USB flash drive so I don't know what connections you can use.

Did formatting it still leave you 4tb? Because I think I've formatted some USBs before that lost some MB or maybe I'm imagining that.
Also what format and should I press "partition" or "erase"?

That was just me venting out my frustration talking about a hard drive I bought that needed that cable. I do have the usb cable

I was asking which format should I pick specifically for this drive. Because if ExFat exist then why does a mac only format exist (Mac OS Extended (Journaled))? I should pick Exfat right? Even if I'm only going to use it on a mac just incase?

Actually I just found something saying that journaled keeps a log incase of crashing. So that's a good thing. Ignore all this I decided to pick journaled.
Thank you for all this

Because ExFAT doesn't support OSX permissions without OSX spamming little hidden folders everywhere, that anyone on Windows can just edit or delete.
