Interesting. I don't have a clue if my iMac has fusion drive or not. I
don't think so, but I seem to recall reading something about it somewhere.

It's obsolete tech. SSD's are cheaper now.
And you don't need them anyway.
I have an SSD for my OS. It boots faster.
BFD.
Can't tell the difference anywhere else.
My games are still on spinners, plain and not RAIDed.
No noticeable difference.
If you're moving massive files from SSD to SSD, it'll be faster.
SSD's will kill off spinners as prices fall.



I think the difference is that the SSDs available today have much higher
storage capacity than those of years past. The whole operating system
along with frequently used applications can reside on the SSD.
