I would add that when you reconfigure the drive that unless you are intending to use it as a Time Machine drive you might consider formatting it APFS. Although APFS is not ideal for HDs, I find the ability to create and delete APFS volumes with no size restrictions is very useful. I have two rotating rust drives formatted APFS with multiple volumes on each and while I/O may technically be a touch slower the system has been completely stable as well as offering a very useful way of organizing my storage requirements.
