Hi,
I have a late 2015 5K iMac with a 3TB fusion drive running High Sierra 10.13.6. Until now i was using it as one big HD but yesterday decided to partition it into two equal halves using Disk Utility, so that I could install MojaveOS onto the second partition. Everything was running smoothly...
I have an iMac 27 inch 5k 2018. This has a 1 TB fusion drive with a 24 GB of flash storage in it. This computer is used in a music studio and the hard drive performs terribly. It is excruciatingly slow. I was wondering if any one could help me with the following questions:
Based on my...
Hey!
I'm trying to split a Fusion Drive. Note I've heard the warnings; no need to advise me against it. I know what I'm doing and I have backups of everything if things go horribly wrong.
Anyhow, I am following this article which states to type 'diskutil coreStorage list' into terminal while...
A few years back, I took apart my 2011 iMac Core i7, added an SSD, and created a homebrew fusion drive with the existing 2 TB mechanical drive. It was like getting a new computer; boot times went from 45+ seconds to something like 15 seconds, and apps felt as if they launched almost instantly...
I have a 2014 Mini, the one with 2.6Ghz and a 1tb slow 5400RPM HD, so as soon as i bought it i instaled a external usb 3.0 120gb SSD merged with a fast 3.0 External HDD, creating a "fusion drive", it worked amazingly well for a long time.
But after mojave update if I let my mini go to sleep...

Hello!
Yesterday I bought the iMac 5K with 3TB Fusion drive. I've made two partitions - one for storage (2,5 TB) and one for the system (512 GB). Because I bought the iMac second hand I've clean installed the MojaveOS with the APFS file system. The other partition is Mac OS Extender...
I have a late 2012 Mac mini currently running macOS High Sierra. Back when I bought it a couple years ago I upgraded it and installed a fusion drive on it. If I update to macOS Mojave will my fusion drive still work?
Sorry if this question has been answered.
I'm about to change my iMac with a new one and my dad is getting my old late 2012 : I saw on iFixit a kit to upgrade from a Fusion Disk to SSD and I'd like to give it a try ... can anyone link me a guide to do the job ? On YouTube I found something but they only do the "hardware" part, I need to...

Hi,

I really need help with this.
I've been having issues with kernel panics on macOS Mojave. I couldn't boot into Recovery nor Internet Recovery (Both would end in Kernel Panics). Yet no issues were detected in a disgnostics test. And so I created...
I saw a lot of comments by users of this forum about Fusion Drives and they're often bad ... I still remember how innovative it was when it first was introduced on my late 2011 iMac and I wonder if it's really worth paying more to get an SSD with less room : is it the difference between a Fusion...

I've been holding off on installing the beta since I have a fusion drive, and I knew that support for those was new and experimental. However, with Mojave releasing in the next few weeks, I figured I'd bite the bullet and install the latest beta today.
However, upon launching the installer I...

Mojave installed well and worked for a day or two with no issue then suddenly, it rebooted and has been in that boot sequence forever.
I looked at the boot sequence in Verbose mode and it looks like some boot files are missing.
I tried reinstalling macOS but it just reboots at some point.

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...
Hi,
Sorry if this kind of problem is repeated elsewhere. I'll start at the top for context:
