I never had any problems, but maybe I am not using the same applications. Can you give some examples? I guess video editing might be one, but I cannot think of many more.

- microcolonel 9y agoCommon applications like the Finder and the Dock query the filesystem when you open a context menu, among many other things that don't intuitively seem to be filesystem-dependent. But then there are applications which have a reasonable excuse to be hitting the filesystem, like iTunes or Photos or Mail. They absolutely redline the filesystem on a regular basis. The basic speed of the flash storage in a MacBook Pro frequently masks these problems, but the filesystem works against it.
- RJIb8RBYxzAMX9u 9y agoPerhaps my use case is a bit esoteric, but lack of sparse file support in HFS+ is mildly annoying. Sometimes I would forget and accidentally create a huge one, then I'd have to wait for the OS to finish zero-padding (it's non-interruptible) or fail with ENOSPC. Having a fast SSD helps. :-)
