I would leave it alone for now, considering Apple doesn’t yet auto convert HDs or Fusion Drives. APFS is still clearly a work in progress. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

okay thanks...by the i did tested formatted it on APFS..kinda fast..but im not sure about stability...so i reformatted it back to HFS+ Mac Os Journaled (i did clone/back up before i do any experimental upgrades/downgrades)
