Just listing a bunch of photos is going to have terrible performance on APFS. They don't need to make it work amazingly on hard drives, but they need to do some basic things like lumping together related metadata.

What benefits do you really get from using APFS on external magnetic disks that are really so significant that you wouldn’t just use HPFS?

Snapshots are always good.
