    Once and for all: Does MacOS Mojave work with Fusion Drives?

    What's up, ya'll? :cool: I have a 2017 iMac with a fusion drive. I'm currently still running Sierra on it, because apparently, High Sierra's APFS doesn't support fusion drives. I read that Mojave (10.14) introduces APFS support for fusion drives. Thing is, all I've read about this has been...

    Considering i9 MBP - Reinstall and Disable APFS?

    Well, despite my better judgement I'm considering the i9 MBP. The reports I'm seeing from Logic users are a lot more significant than I expected... Anyway, I've been on 10.12 for a few years now and haven't gone near 10.13. After some reading, it would seem that there's some rationale behind...

    Mojave: APFS on Fusion Drives

    APFS was announced for Fusion Drives in Mojave. However, beta testers have reported in early betas that Mojave doesn't use the SSD portion of their Fusion Drives, often running out of space at around 100GB. This is how APFS Fusion Drives behave on High Sierra, which doesn't officially support...

    Question about APFS on a freshly converted drive

    tl;dr Disk Utility info on my main disk says 'Bootable: No'. Is that a problem? Is it a problem I can fix? So I upgraded my Mac Mini to a 1TB SSD, like so many people do. Because the Mini was basically dead when I did the upgrade (the fusion drive had been slowly failing for weeks), the only...

    APFS: What's specifically new in Mojave for APFS?

    Curious, what's new with APFS specifically in Mojave? We're hearing about Fusion / rotary drives using it now, but what else? Compression? Anything else?

    Disk Utility Formatting Mojave Drive

    After installing beta 2, I started having most of my built in MacOS applications crash with minimal use (without any obvious reason). Upon running disk utility, I found that my drive had been corrupted by the new install. I attempted a repair with no success. But... no big deal, it’s time to...

    Benefits of APFS on Fusion Drive?

    Hi guys, please enlighten me on this one, is it worth it to upgrade my Fusion Drive (1TB - iMac 5k late 2015) when Mohave comes out? Would be great if there are benchmarks on the same system :)

    Hi to all the good folks of Mac rumors! I've been reading up on Macs for music for a couple of years and recently decided to make the leap from PC based music production to Logic Pro X, and of course Mac. I bought a Mac Mini 2012 (i7 2.3GHz/16GB/1TB) with 1TB SSD as the sole drive. The Mac...

    Thoughts on TechTool Pro 9.6.2?

    I just received an offer from Micromat to upgrade to TechTool Pro 9.6.2. The last time I upgraded this app was with version 4. I really haven't needed it since, but I'm told that it's the only tool that can repair APFS disks. What are your thoughts? Is this a decent utility or should I pass?

    APFS: restore to new volume not working

    So, my situation is (still) that post-High Sierra upgrade, I ended up with three APFS containers, with one volume each. There's still (as of 10.13.4 beta) no way to merge containers, but I've found there is a way to pull in a volume from one container to another, given enough space: the Restore...
