Crucial external SSD used with Macbook Air

Bought a Crucial X8 external SSD that came formatted Exfat? Wouldn't APFS be better? Not to be used with non MacOS computers.

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

since you don't need the SSD to work with "non macOS computers", then yes, APFS is the recommended format.
