This is also the case with APFS on rotational disk drives. Why does APFS perform so much worse on HDD vs SSD? Will Apple fix it? https://bombich.com/blog/2019/0

- cmckn 6y agoAPFS was not designed for spinning disks. No, they won't fix it; because they don't even sell a computer that ships with only a spinning disk (asterisk on the iMac's hybrid drive). HFS+ is still available, just use it if you need to format a spinning disk. I think this is a very different type of issue, with much more reasonable trade-offs.
