LaCie 1T usb 3.0 portable external hard drive [View all]

Never had an external hard and bought the above for my Mavericks era loaded MacBook Pro
The LaCie is made for windows or macs

Do I have to format it be clicking "erase " or by clicking "partition" ? And I take it I don't turn on time machine until it is formatted ?
Honestly the only thing I really want time machine to back up are my Logic music projects and my mail and photos. I hope I have given you enough information for guidance. Thanks
