Philip Houska Isethulo sangoMsombuluko engqungqutheleni yonjiniyela ye-WWDC 2016 yathatha amahora amabili, kodwa i-Apple ibingakwazi ukusho zonke izindaba yona (hhayi kuphela) ezilungiselele abathuthukisi. Ngasikhathi sinye, enye yezinto ezintsha ezizayo ibaluleke kakhulu - i-Apple ihlose ukufaka esikhundleni sesistimu yefayela ye-HFS+ ephelelwe yisikhathi ngesixazululo sayo, eyasibiza nge-Apple File System (APFS) futhi izosetshenziselwa yonke imikhiqizo yayo.
Uma kuqhathaniswa ne-HFS+, ebikhona ngokuhlukahluka okuhlukahlukene amashumi eminyaka, i-Apple File System entsha yakhiwe kabusha kusukela phansi futhi, ngaphezu kwakho konke, iletha ukwenziwa kahle kwama-SSD kanye nesitoreji se-flash esisekela ukusebenza kwe-TRIM. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izophinde inikeze abasebenzisi ukubethela kwedatha okuvikeleke kakhulu (futhi ngokomdabu ngaphandle kwesidingo sokusebenzisa i-FileVault) noma ukuvikeleka okubaluleke kakhulu kwamafayela wedatha uma kwenzeka ukuphahlazeka kwesistimu yokusebenza.
I-APFS iphinde isingathe lokho okubizwa ngokuthi amafayela angama-sparse aqukethe izingcezu ezinkulu zamabhayithi angu-zero, futhi ushintsho olukhulu luzwela, ngoba ngenkathi uhlelo lwefayela le-HFS+ lwaluzwela, okungaholela ezinkingeni ngesikhathi se-OS X, noma manje i-macOS, i-Apple File System izosusa ukuzwela. Kodwa-ke, u-Apple uthi lokho ngeke kube njalo uma kuqalwa, njengoba nje uhlelo lwayo olusha lungakasebenzi kuma-bootable kanye namadiski e-Fusion Drive.
Ngaphandle kwalokho, i-Apple ilindele ukusebenzisa lolu hlelo lwefayela olusha kuwo wonke amadivayisi ayo, kusukela ku-Mac Pro kuya ewashini elincane kakhulu.
Izitembu zesikhathi nazo zishintshile uma ziqhathaniswa ne-HFS+. I-APFS manje inepharamitha ye-nanosecond, okuwukuthuthukiswa okuphawulekayo kumasekhondi ohlelo oludala lwefayela le-HFS+. Esinye isici esibalulekile se-AFPS "I-Space Sharing", eqeda isidingo samasayizi angashintshiwe wokuhlukaniswa komuntu ngamunye kudiski. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, bazokwazi ukushintshwa ngaphandle kwesidingo sokufometha kabusha, futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo, ukwahlukanisa okufanayo kuzokwazi ukwabelana ngezinhlelo zamafayela amaningi.
Ukusekelwa kwezipele noma ukubuyisela kusetshenziswa izifinyezo kanye nokwenza amakhophi okungcono kwamafayela nezinkomba nakho kuzoba isici esibalulekile kubasebenzisi.
I-Apple File System okwamanje itholakala kunguqulo kanjiniyela ye-macOS Sierra esanda kwethulwa, kodwa ayikwazi ukusetshenziswa ngokugcwele okwamanje ngenxa yokushoda komshini wesikhathi, i-Fusion Drive noma i-FileVault. Inketho yokuyisebenzisa kudiski yokuqalisa nayo ayikho. Konke lokhu kufanele kuxazululwe ngonyaka ozayo, lapho ngokusobala i-APFS izonikezwa ngokusemthethweni kubasebenzisi abajwayelekile.
