APFS to all drives?

Is it known if an upcoming update of High Sierra will be able to format all sort of drives (HDD’s and external SSD’s) to the APFS file system?

High Sierra can currently format external SSDs to APFS. I'm using an external Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD drive for testing HS. I have 2 APFS Containers on it. One for testing HS and one for cloning that test Container.


As far as HDDs and Fusion Drives, Apple hasn't provided any public information that these can be formatted as APFS and function correctly.
