I have another 256BG SSD which is currently running PT on High Sierra...
I'd never heard of APFS before today, so it was the unfamiliar options in Disk Utility that led me here. Unless I'm mistaken, the takeaway from this thread thus far is that I should format my SSD system drive with APFS. But then there is the SCHEME option, which I have also never seen before. Googling didn't reveal many answers on this question, but I found one thread possibly recommending "Apple Partition Map". Does that sound right?
Thanks for any tips!
Edit: 10 seconds later I see that Apple Partition Map isn't an option if I am using APFS, so I guess I'll just go with the default GUID Partition Map. Still would love any tips on whether this is the right choice. In fact, seems to be the only choice for APFS, so that simplifies things I guess...
Edit 2: 1 minute later, newly Erased drive with APFS and GUID showing up as an external drive, not internal. Hmmm... It's in the 4th drive bay. Won't let me mount it as an Internal drive...

That's kind of normal for drives in bays. I'm wondering why you don't put your system ssd on a card and in a pcie slot? I did that with the 1TB Samsung ssd with an adapter from OWC. And my samples ssd (another Samsung ssd) is on another pcie card adapter in the remaining slot. System boots much quicker and everything is pretty stable. Take a look at my full system info on my profile page. Being you're doing HDX you'll still have (or should have) an empty slot for the system drive.
BTW both ssd's are formatted apfs with trim enabled on both.
