Thanks for the information, to be honest i would prefer to stay on APFS but i have very bad experience with APFS on my Kingston V300 Now 120GB SSD.
The partitions have been corrupted 3x times so far that caused me some data loss and waste of 3 day progress on trying to fix some issues on my device (which caused me a clean install and doing the work and all the fixes & new SSDTs & new config.plist) for it.
So that's why im afraid to stay on with APFS on this SSD, it seems they don't go well with each other.
Piker Alpha mentioned that apfs can cause problems with corruption due to hacks not having true Apple bios. I too have had corruption issues with apfs on some setups but others are fine.
Another method to avoid apfs is to do a direct install to an external USB drive or USB to Sata adapter. Doing this installs in HFS mode.
