This is how to initialize a hard drive within macOS using the command-line. If you’ve encountered errors initializing a hard drive using Disk Utility, there is a good chance that following this procedure to initialize the hard drive via the command-line may work.

This was my fix for formatting a hard drive within macOS. #macOS #how-to
