Hi,
I want to clean install High Sierra. The last time I did it, i formatted to APFS and enabled FV after OS installation. Remaning time for encryption was 14 hours vs 20 minutes on Sierra!
This time, if I just format to APFS encrypted during clean install, FV will be enabled from the start, and I won't have to wait 14 hours for it to complete?
This is something I read on apple forums.
What's the difference between enabling FV after OS installation has completed vs. formatting directly to APFS encrypted? Which option is the most secure?
Thanks
