Hi all,
If you have iMac 27" late-2015 with original Apple 1TB SSD or 3TB Fusion Drive or you know the following info, please share:
1. is 1TB SSD NVMe? I think you could check it by going to -> About this Mac -> System Info and looking if the SSD is under NVMExpress or SATA/SATA Express...
I having been considering entering into the Mac world for a few months. I was going to wait to see whether a new model came out later this year, but the Pound falling against the Dollar has made me nervous about a price increase so I hope to pull the trigger in the next week or so, as soon as my...
I'm sure this has been handled here before, but like a fool I can't find a search engine for the forum...
I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro with a failing HD running El Cap. I've already replaced the optical drive with a 500GB HD which I now realise was a bad idea as there's no shock...
In the process of restoring to factory, I did a 'erase' drive, and then went to reinstall the OS (as you're supposed to).
But, now, the Fusion Drive is missing. Well, it is listed as Fusion Drive 1.02TB, but you can't select it during the OS reinstall, etc.
I can't partition it
I can't run...
Hey everyone,
I was thinking of adding an SSD to my mid-2011 iMac and turning it into a fusion drive with those terminal commands. Is a home-brew fusion drive as reliable as an Apple one? I kind of want to make sure this isn't a risky hack.
Also, once the drives are fused together, will...
Hello all,
This is my first time in this forum and I am sure this question has been asked a lot but I cannot find an answer to my specific question.
I am about to purchase a 21.5" 4k iMac and would like to know if getting the base model with the 5400rpm HDD and booting from a thunderbolt...
Hi everyone,
Upgraded to El Capitan last week and it hasn't been a great experience. App's are crashing, the wheel of death is a regular occurrence even for the smallest tasks e.g. Apple>About This Mac. The iMac is just generally slow.
I time machined about three weeks ago, so I can go back to...
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this type of thing happen to them and hoping for some enlightenment before I reformat...

Hello
I've received my new iMac 5k a couple of days ago, maxed out settings except for a 3TB Fusion Drive. Like mentioned before, some people are complaining about the noise level for the Fusion Drive. I myself believe it's a bit too noticeable when working in a quiet environment. However, my...
I got the 1 TB fusion drive for my late 2012 iMac (full spec in sig.). Instead of pulling the trigger for a new retina iMac (can't really justify the cost yet...) I'm curious about the possibilities to upgrade my iMac.
Is it possible to replace the 128 GB SSD that comes with the fusion drive...

Any experience of lost data on fusion drive - I read this can happen due to no check of data...
Hey all,
So I was checking out a YouTube review by DetroitBorg (or something to that effect) and he included a benchmark that made it seem the write speed on the late '15 Fusion is almost twice as high. Is there anyone out here who has compared the speeds? Cheers!
I have a fusion drive on my iMac (HDD+SDD). Anyways I screwed it up by formatting my SSD while trying to bootcamp my imac. I reinstalled OS X on the SDD and started fresh. I used third party recovery tools, to recover what I needed from the HDD. Now I want to clear my entire computer and start...
