pepitillo Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Hello, I have installed High Sierra and I realised that my SSD drive was reformatted to APFS (without problems, I don't believe it). Now I was wondering if there are any tips to make it work better in a Hackintosh, because the performance I think is more or less the same that which HFS+. Thanks guys!

PPCnostalgic Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Hello. I've seen a little improvement on overall performance of my hard disk, now It's about 1450 Mb/sec (reading) vs 1350Mb/sec it was before APFS. It's hard to notice a speed bump in everyday use, maybe you'll see an improvement when dealing with many small files but I don't think there's much to do for optimize HD performance more than the OS itself....

Funky frank Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Well I notice an obviously longer boot time, about 1/3 longer now with APFS. Also writing seems to be much slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoYelloW Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Well I notice an obviously longer boot time, about 1/3 longer now with APFS. Also writing seems to be much slower. i had this too, until i went to latest clover and latest apfs driver, boot times are fast again now..

pepitillo Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 It's true the thing of slow booting. what version of clover are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriz74 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The slow boot problem is not Clover related. It happens in real Macs too. To solve it backup / restore to ssd (with time machine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludacrisvp Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Disable SSD Trim patch in clover, this slows down boot for APFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriz74 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Disable SSD Trim patch in clover, this slows down boot for APFS. You need trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky frank Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I just switched back to HFS+, even on my EVO850 HFS is so much faster than APFS. System loading time is again almost 3 times faster. No lags anymore. You can do that using 1:1 copy all files to a backup drive, copy all EFI bootconfig, then format original drive with HFS+, install clover (for writing bootblocks, boot files etc), copy over EFI bootconfig, and then 1:1 copy everything back.
