Is there any reason to not upgrade a volume to APFS

[Roberbond]

hi! I have decided to upgrade to High Sierra. I have an ssd drive so I would like to know if there is any issue to no upgrade to the new APFS system.

BTW I have another SSD disk with windows over a NFTS partition, do I have to unplug that disk?

Most common problem is slow boot other than that everything works. No you do not have to unplug it.

Ideally you could test your SSD for boot times and general performance before doing anything more lasting.

My hackintosh is very stable and very fast. I don´t really need to upgrade but I think it will be mandatory with the new updates.

I find that my system is slower since I updated. Double click on a file and there's a latency. I wonder if it's a temporary thing, like, everything being reindexed or something, but it's been a few days now.

My NVME2 SSD is slower w/ APFS. Not by a ton, but enough to keep it @ HFS.

is slower

anybody knows any benchmark? it looks by the replies is better to keep the HFS format.
