I have a perfectly working system with a HPFS+ drive (120GB SSD+500GB /of 1TB/ partition HDD).

I'm wondering if it's now safe to convert this fusion to APFS. Since my fusion is also taking part of an HDD partition, I don't want to mess with it to lose my OS X plus the rest of the HDD.

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks in advance,

I believe Apple has not tried to convert the fleet of Fusion Drive iMacs it sold to use APFS. Apparently Apple thinks APFS is still not ready for Fusion Drives.

Do you think you should do it at this time then?
