Fusion seems kind of half assed. If I want a fast drive, I'll get the largest ssd I'm willing to afford. If I want a cheap drive I'll get the smallest HDD I need.
If you're buying an apple product, pricing is low on your list.
- Flow 14y agoIf I, for my next iMac, had to choose between a 256GB SSD and 1TB spinning-disk, I'd pick the spinning-disk because I want the space more than the speed. With this Fusion system I get almost the best of both.
- riffraff 14y agothis is a false dichotomy, i want a faster drive than what I have (otherwise I have no interest in upgrading) and more storage than 250GB (because I already use more). The Fusion Drive may not reach it's goals, but it is designed to fill this space, and if it was 50$ less expensive it would be awesome, IMHO.
- viraptor 14y agoActually they seem to give you more ssd space than need. Compare it with lenovo which throws in a 16gb ssd drive for free. I've got it set up as a writeback cache (using flashcache) and honestly don't see a performance difference compared to the whole system being on the ssd. (of course the difference is there, just not noticeable anymore) That doesn't really match apple's $200+ - lenovo can do it for free to some extent.
