ah, that's helpful thanks. I think I have a spinning drive with AFPS but
only for Time Machine, as people said it was faster - I guess it's
swings and roundabouts!
cheers,

APFS performance on spinning disk drives is abysmal, it only works
well on SSDs (not even fusion drives as they have a spinning disk
component).
That’s why Macs with spinning disks and fusion drives on Mojave or
later slow down, replace the hard drive with SSD and you get a sudden
massive speed increase.

Curious about why not AFPS? Is there a particular reason?

That’s right yes, you can format any USB drive for Mac. Format it
with the GUID partition scheme (not Master Block Record MBR as
that’s for PCs) and use the macOS Extended (Journaled) format.
