Only cure for that is shoot it (after cloning and replace with an SSD It is correct that there are no speed benefits when installed on an HHD. Not sure where you got the information, but APFS works on all Apple hardware (see below). Such software is broken, but, you know, Windows works like that so the whole world must. One caution: software which thinks file names that differ only by Unicode normalization are distinct will run into problems. I am not running High Sierra, but the reasons are not to do with APFS-I'm actually looking forward to getting the volume I keep my photos on converted, because of the COW feature.

Most of my testing was for my own software development, but I also made some general performance observations, and it was fine with both a portable USB 3 hard drive and an internally mounted 3½″ SATA drive. I did some extensive testing of the beta version of APFS that came with some of the point versions of Sierra, and it works fine on hard drives. Wow - that's a lot of transitions in a short time. I remember when I took over paying moms bills about 20 year she told me not to use the machines and stand line at the bank. Updated comps to High Sierra and set up more back ups for my RAW file collection. Today I decided to enter the 21st century and got my points and credit card onto my iPhone. Got rid of my Zenfolio account and set up a new website. I got onto the Adobe plan so I had to get everything set up the way I like. In the last 3 weeks we got 2 new iPhones and I and had to sync the calendars to 3 other devices, something got messed up in iTunes on both so I had to get a little more proficient at that. My parents had the same TV for it seemed like 30 years. I just like to keep everything up to date but sometimes you gear has to be as well I think it is better not to risk it and to leave this one alone. But, your conclusion to not do so would make a lot of sense. And, you lose the ability to use that drive with pre-Sierra version of Mac OS. There doesn't seem to be any benefit to using APFS on an HDD (it is not faster). APFS will not work with Fusion Drives at this time.But, you can use Disk Utility to format any SSD or hard disc using APFS.

If you install High Sierra on a non-SSD drive, then it is not automatically converted.If you install High Sierra on an SSD device, then the drive is automatically converted to APFS.I was aware about Fusion but not HDD.Īccording to Apple ( ) and other sources, HDD drives can be formatting to APFS but, doing so may not make much sense at this time. Just wondering if it worth risking something for and older iMac with an HDD drive.
I get mixed opinions on the net and Adobe support says it is OK to do so. Either way I did a bunch of reading and APFS is tuned for SSD but I'm still wondering about updating for an HDD.

I was surprised to find it is Mac OS Extended and not HFS+. I don't recall being asked if I wanted to when I updated an older iMac to High Sierra. My Macbook Air has SSD so it automatically switched to APFS when I updated to High Sierra.
