Features of Paragon APFS for Windows

Fail-safe operability across compatible hardware and software systems for both general-purpose and specialized applications
Protection of data integrity and prevention of accidental data corruption and possible loss
Steady throughput and balanced goodput with effective flow control, reduced overheads, and congestion avoidance
Thrifty usage of processor, memory, and disk resources
When volumes are mounted in the Write mode, you get full access to an APFS volume with the options to edit files, create new files or delete existing files.
Our driver provides limited read-only support for APFS cloned files. You can read, copy and rename this type of file but not write, modify, create or delete.
There are several compression methods in APFS. Our driver supports all of them.
Any operations that involve files moving from one APFS subvolume to another are not supported.
Our driver can only work with APFS containers residing in a single physical store, and other configurations are not yet supported.
APFS volumes that contain snapshots are automatically detected and mounted in read-only mode.
