I have a late 2012 27-inch iMac Core i7 with a 1TB Fusion Drive whose HDD has failed.

I split the Fusion Drive's SSD from the failing HDD so I can get a working Mac again sans 1TB.

I benched the SSD blade and noticed that writes does not exceed 250MB/s writes or 410MB/s reads.

Is there a SSD blade upgrade that'll increase read/writes to nearing 600MB/s and will work as an Apple Fusion Drive?

Will be replacing the failing 1TB with a 10TB Seagate IronWolf Pro.
