[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1862386, member: 83420"] [USER=405681]@Petesmac[/USER] We are advising people to be cautious, that's all. For many with Fusion Drives, macOS Catalina suits their needs and works as competently and swiftly as they desire. But there are other reports of slowness, crashes and spinning balls mainly because the APFS was designed to work with SSDs preferentially. High-demanding tasks, others that need fast responses and, of course, the inability to use 32bit apps have forced users to downgrade (if they can - going back to HFS+ from APFS can be extremely troublesome). You're happy; that's great. Enjoy. :smile For others, that has not been the case. So we simply spell out the potential difficulties and let them decide. Better safe than sorry. Ian [/QUOTE]
