Format external disk

Hi, I have a doubt that I can't clarify, for which I appreciate help: My iMac has the High Sierra installed in Mac OS Extended format.

The external disk I use (WD My Book) for Backup and archive, with partition, can it be formed in APFS?.. .

Can it be problematic?...

Thank you.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.13

APFS was semi-introduced in High Sierra but only of the computer had an Original Apple SSD Drive.


Otherwise Disk Utility on High Sierra with an HFS Journaled / GUID Computer will and can not even understand APFS let along Format an external drive is APFS
