APFS and HFS+ Benchmarks on 2017 Macbook Pro with MacOS High Sierra

I just upgraded my old iMac (Mid 2010) to High Sierra which has a custom upgraded drive (Crucial 500GB). Running encrypted (FileVault) on previous Sierra and new High Sierra.

I am not seeing any difference in terms of read and write performance according to Blackmagic Disk Speed Test.

Solid 250 MB/S read and write for both HFS+ Encrypted and APFS Encrypted.

The caveat is that I know the iMac machine is old. I am in the process of upgrading my one month old 2017 MacBook Pro with Touchbar to High Sierra and will return with those results to see if indeed APFS encrypted shows a significant slowdown on newer hardware.

You're saturating your SATA2 port, the bottleneck isn't the filesystem in your case, its the physical hardware.

My new MacBook Pro 2017 with Touchbar is almost done with the upgrade to High Sierra. Will advise once that is complete.
