This article is a piece of shit. 1) It explains nothing about how Fusion Drive works. In fact, it muddles the waters by likening it to SSD cache technologies, while it's simply not a cache at all. 2) The sources it links are speculation posted right after the announcement, when no technical details were available. Of course, the details have since come out and have been analyzed in detail, but the writer ignores that. 3) The custom SSD connector on laptops has absolutely nothing to do with Fusion Drive, since FD is offered on desktop machines only. The Apple laptops that have the custom connector come with pure SSD storage: there is no spinning HD to use for FD. 4) But at least that gives the writer an opportunity to claim that the custom connector makes it impossible to buy upgrades from third parties... only to then mention a third-party that makes compatible upgrades in the very next sentence. What? 5) You can use Fusion Drive on your entry-level Mac mini or iMac, actually. In fact, you don't even need a new Mac at all, and there are no hacks to do: it's all right there in OS X.
