Fusion Drive

Question

Solid State Drives

I want to upgrade Macbook pro mid 2010. Already installed 8 GB of RAM, now it's the turn for the SSD. I just can’t decide: use Fusion Drive or install the system separately on an SSD, and leave user data on the HDD. SSD plan to put Plextor PX-M5S 128 GB.

Answer 1

The whole buzz from the fusion drive, that everything you need and fresh is always on ssd, such as the Downloads file washer.
And on hard, all sorts of old rubbish is someday necessarily useful things
And you don’t need to worry about it. Everything is automatic ... I have 256GB + 1TB in early 2011, and I definitely don’t have to regret that fusion drive.
If it is possible to install in mid 2010, then without options you need to install

Answer 2

I've been on Fusion Drive for about a year at work and at home (at home also MBP mid 2010). Recommend! And today I just wrote an article about Fusion Drive under Mavericks. There everything is more interesting and steeper. But always with Time Machine backups!
