How much traditional drive in a 1TB Fusion drive?

In a 1TB Fusion drive, there is supposed to be 128GB Flash drive. Does this mean there really is 872 GB of traditional drive? I want to purchase a new iMac, and didn't know if getting a Fusion drive would short me on the amount of storage in the traditional drive.

Technically, yes it is an 870GB conventional hard drive with 128GB of non-volatile RAM added to the drive case.  But as mende1 says, it all functions as a single 1TB volume.  Your unformatted drive space on that drive is 1TB.
Actually it's a 1TB conventional drive with a 128GB SSD for a total formatted capacity of 1.11 TB.

  • How can i tell how much hard drive space my website is taking up on my computer?

    I have a website that i build through iweb and publish via mobile me.  i have about 200 podcasts on the site, and I am trying to figure out how much hard drive space this is taking up on my computer.  these files are not in itunes, and i'm not concerned about the space they are taking up in my cloud, i just want to know how much space on my computer they are taking up because i'm trying to decide if i should move my iweb site to a different computer to alleviate some space issues.  any help would be much appreciated.

    Check the size of the Domain.site2 file that is in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.  it contains all of the files used to create and publish your site.  I'm not sure if it copies the podcasts into it or not. You can open the domain package and do a search for them. Just don't move, rename or delete any files inside that package or your site is toast.

  • How much hard drive RPM can this iMac handle?

    Hello!
    In my office there's an *iMac Indigo G3 @ 400Mhz* (serial number RN03820ZJV8) and I need to replace its hard drive with a new one with more capacity.
    Am being offered hard drives with different RPMs (5,400, 7,600, etc.) but I need to know how much can this IMac model handle, I don't want to over-heat it.
    However, I couldn't find that specific data on apple's web site...
    So as an alternative way of knowing this I thought that it would be a good idea to know the RPM of the current hard drive as it has worked well for several years:
    "*Fujitsu MPG3204AH E:*", capacity of 19.09GB (serial number: VL00T1A09W09).
    But I haven't been able to find that info either!
    Anyone out there who can answer:
    1.- What's the maximum amount of RPM this specific iMac model can handle without overheating?
    And/or:
    2.- What's the RPM for that specific hard drive?
    Best!
    Danny

    Several years ago, there were concerns about the faster 7,200 RPM drives causing heat issues in the convection-cooled, slot-loading iMacs. In actuality, the hard drives manufactured today run more smoothly, cooler, and quieter than the first generation of 7,200 RPM drives. You won't have any problems installing a 7,200 RPM drive. The onboard IDE controller can only recognize a maximum formatted drive capacity of 128 GBs, so a 120 GB drive is ideal, but hard to find now. A 160 GB drive is usually the smallest drive stocked by many retailers today, but it would only be recognized as 128 GBs after formatting. As for the Fujitsu MPG3204AH-E drive, the "AH" in the model number indicates a 7,200 RPM drive, whereas earlier drives with "AT" in the model number were 5,400 RPM drives.
