[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1838494, member: 396914"] I would avoid using third party tools on APFS drives for at least a while. Apple has not released the full technical details on APFS so far, so developers are sort of working in the dark. Some things, like Carbon Copy Cloner, have figured out how to do what they do, but looks like TTP that manipulate the drive directly simply don't have the details to be made to work accurately for now. Maybe down the road Apple will release more about APFS and those tools can be useful, but for now, I'd avoid them, as I said. [/QUOTE]
