I spent more than 3K to buy a 2011 27-inch model, please ask for a hard disk format solution

by Poster Nov 4, 2019 11
The specific configuration is i7 quad-core 3.4 ghz, 12g memory, 2g video memory, 1T hdd and 256dessd I plan to use dual systems on ssd, and 1t is used as a file disk that can be used by both systems at the same time. However, after checking the format online, it seems very confused.

    Just exfat

    Use either exfat or fat, both of which are non-logging file systems. Suitable for storing single large files. Not suitable for storing scattered files. For example, a single file may take up 256,512kb Recommend win, ntfs, mac or apfs/hfs

    @ Anonymous5256 # 1 It is said on the Internet that it is not friendly to mechanical hard drives, but it is okay for flash memory? This is my 1T machine!

    I feel that ssd uses apfs and HDD also uses apfs or hfs. In fact, although apfs is specially developed for ssd, it doesn't say that it is not compatible with HDD. I have an external disk that also uses apfs, and there is no problem using it until now

    I'm going to use dual systems tomorrow. The 1T disk uses Apple's file system. The main work is in macos state. It seems that there is software under win that can read and write Apple file formats https://i.loli.net/2019/11/04/vQ576zPZg3BtsLD.jpg

    The performance of the 2011 model can't keep up

    @ Anonymous3240 # 7 If possible, I may use the xp system back. The construction industry is a relatively old-fashioned industry

    @ Poster There is no problem in daily use, especially the built-in hard drive. exfat has optimization for sudden power outages of mobile storage

    The performance of the 2011 i7-level iMac is absolutely no problem. Just replace it with a 900GB SSD and run APFS. The performance is absolutely excellent ~
