APFS Encrypted vs APFS + FileVault?
I upgraded the SSD in a Mac Mini and I'm reinstalling Mojave via internet recovery.
The disk is completely erased right now, and when creating a new partition it asks me if I want to choose APFS
or APFS (Encrypted)
.
I want full encryption on the drive. Should I go with APFS
then enable FileVault later on, or simply partition the disk with APFS (Encrypted)
?
I tested both options on my own: on Mojave installing on a new disk with APFS (Encrypted)
results in a fully working system with FileVault already enabled.
