I was dealing with an issue on an SSD.RAID with the developer of SoftRaid. And I learned from that conversation that hard drives formatted with APFS are much more capable of surviving data-damaging events such as power outages, or removing a drive without ejecting. He told me such events leading to damage of files on drives formatted in APFS are so rare that he suggested I contact Apple to tell them about it.

Thank you Martina Nikolova.
It might sound redundant, pun intended, but it is not that easy to find a clear and basic explanation of the names and different OS formats. Often the importance of such seems overlooked until you run into a problem.
Your article is incredibly clear and will get its own bookmark.

I just bought a 2TB Sandisk SSD external drive. I use a 2019 MacBook Pro and was wondering is APFS is a recommended format since I’m not using a mechanical drive?
