Easy to use for macOS installer disk
I got this particular card so I could make a backup recovery disk for macOS Mojave. I'll probably never use it as such because my primary recovery disk is a partition on the Seagate expansion drive I use as a Time Machine disk. I guess having a spare is like wearing a belt and suspenders.Steps to do it were easy. First I opened the disk utility and followed the directions to erase it and reformat it as Mac OS Extended. The partition menu never opened so I don't know if it can or for that matter needs to be partitioned. Anyway, the setup worked.The next step was to follow the instructions on the apple support page on "How to create a bootable installer for macOS". I downloaded the installer, cancelled the auto install then used the apple 'createinstallmedia' command in Terminal. The apple support page has an easy copy and paste command for Mojave. In the end I have a bootable Mojave installer which I've put into an USB flash drive adaptor, ready to use as an USB drive, since I don't know if apples will boot from a directly plugged in SD card.
