    The most important reason to use APFS wasn't even mentioned. Don't use exFAT unless you absolutely need to, APFS is journaled and is far less likely to corrupt your files if you force-eject or forget to eject. exFAT was designed in the 1970s. Speaking as someone who just went through the pain of (partially) recovering files from a corrupted exFAT partition, don't make the mistake I made

    It seems like you have ignored external hard drives, I mean actual external rotational hard disk drives.
    They are significantly slower with APFS vs other file systems in my testing.

    I don't know why but I have a ZikeDrive USB4 SSD Enclosure with a 990 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 2TB and when I formatted it to ExFat I got 1341.9 (write) and 2341.1 (read) speeds. Then I tried formatting it to APFS and I got 2011.9 (write) and 3123.2 (read) speeds. Why do you think that might be? I’m using the MacBook Pro with the M1 Max Chip and it has 3 Thunderbolt 4 ports. The cable I use is USB4 Gen3 40Gbps USB-C to USB-C cable.

    Thank you! For cross platform exFAT is best obviously, but was wondering if I would get a performance hit, since I tend to use APFS encrypted on all my drives

      Don’t use exFAT for archival purposes it doesn’t have journaling.

    looking forward to the next video jeje Question do you have a tutorial of how to have a vistua machine on your mac 🖥️ easy? or if free ect ect , my window laptop is dead now after 7 years I can’t afford a new one now si I wonder I is better to have a virtual machine in the meantime, I use a work pc but my room is to cluster haha 😂

      Virtual machines work well on high-end computers with a lot of ram. It may be less expensive to purchase an additional old computer. A low end macbook will work with Windows on Bootcamp which will run Windows faster than through a virtual machine.

    what about other things like cluster size. I had a file that was 50GB and the size on disk was like 120GB. does APFS handle this better than exfat?

    It's worth noting that this is a Crucial X6 SSD, which is Crucial's slowest SSD available, so a bigger difference can be made by just buying a faster SSD, like the X9 Pro (which also uses more reliable technology). Still an extremely helpful video, thank you!
