APFS support for external harddrives?
Hi, I have a macbook air, M1, 2020. I use a 5tb external harddrive, USB3.0, connected by a USBC to USB adapter for backups. And by backups I mean just copying files from my main internal SSD to the external harddrive. My question is, If I format my external harddrive for APFS, will it work just as well as it did for HFS pluss, Mac oS extended, or would it even work at all? I've heard on other websights that APFS is not a good filesystem for external harddrives, is that true or will it work? My concern is that in a future Mac oS update Apple will drop support for Mac oS extended and that I will be forced to use online backup Solutions to backup my files, I find backing up my files to external harddrives more convenient and a more cheeper alternitive to Online backup services. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
