After doing speed test, my external HDD is 40% faster in data transferring speed after formatted it to APFS from HFS+ or even ExFat. But I hear people saying on the internet that mechanical disk should be formatted with HFS+ and APFS is slower for it and destroy the hard drive over times. I’m very insured about using APFS right now even it showed to me that it’s the fastest.
