[Avid-L2] HFS+ APFS G-Speed XL and Encryption ???

I've been handed a G-Tech G-Speed Shuttle XL and asked to format it so that it would be Encrypted. So that you need a password to mount the drive and access the data. On our Mac (Big Sur 11.2.3) the only format option with Encryption is APFS. But my understanding is that these arrays should not be formatted as APFS. But finding current info or even info that is specific to this model of G-Speed is not coming easy for me.

Does anyone have definitive info from G-Tech/WD about this? I've sent them an inquiry but I don't know how long it'll take to hear back.

Thank you,
Jay
