IMac ssd versus fusion

Just wondering about performance in these two configurations. I could get the new iMac with a half T SSD for $2.3K or the 1 TB fusion for $2K. I have plenty of external drives on firewire where I store all the project data. Machine runs iPhoto, Photoshop, Final Cut, Pages and internet apps with the occasional other Adobe app. I'm leaning towards the 1 TB fusion because it makes handling the iPhoto Library simpler - but I am so happy with the performance of my MBP SSD that I really want to get that level of performance on the iMac.

The simplest way to think about this:
HDD: This costs less and gives a lot of storage, but it is a little slow.
SDD: This gives you comparatively less storage, costs a lot more, but it is really very fast!
Fusion: This doesn't cost less, but it doesn't even cost much, it gives a lot of storage and is quite fast!!
So,
If you use a lots and lots of heavy applications at once, or maybe you have a lots and lots of huge applications on your mac or even games, then you may go with SSD,
If you use your mac simply for watching a lots of videos, pictures, browsing the internet and all the other super basic stuff or let's say you have a huge collection of movies, then, HDD is the way to go, because it will store a lot of data and you really don't need heavy performance on all that...
And finally, if you are into stuff like video editing, or photos, then Fusion Drive is a great option, as all the apps that you will use for your editing and other stuff will use the SDD and give you a great performance, whereas all the videos, pictures etc. that you will actually be editing will be stored in the HDD!! Or even if you do all the three above i.e you watch a lot of movies, or you use a huge number of heavy applications, or if you are into editing then the fusion drive is excellent!! And if you still can't decide, then the fusion drive is an excellent option, I promise, this thing actually performs great!! This thing is technically for everyone!!
And don't worry about stability, as an iMac is a desktop, not a laptop, so it will not be exposed to very tough conditions too much and will most probably sit and shine on a beautiful desk at your house/workplace!!
...I hope this helps!!

  • Can I install Windows (7) on my iMac SSD (late 2013) ?

    I'm about to take delivery of my new iMac (late 2013) with the following specs :
    27-inch Core i7 3.5 GHz with 16gb RAM
    256 GB flash storage (pure SSD, NOT Fusion)
    I've googled and found that some say that Windows cannot be installed on the Fusion Drive due to the Fusion Drive containing an SSD portion.
    I would like to install Windows 7 - is this possible to install on the 256 GB flash (SSD) drive ? I'm not buying a Fusion Drive with this iMac, just a pure 256 GB SSD/flash drive. Or must I install Windows on another separate, non-SSD drive ?
    Sorry if the quesiton is too novice or dumb. Thanks.

    Unless you do high end gaming or very intense
    3D graphics work, it will be much easier to simply
    install a product like VMWare Fusion
    (http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/) or
    Parallels Desktop Mac
    (http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/)
    and create a virtual machine.  Read up on these sites
    to understand how a virtual machine works.
    The advantage of this approach, the "PC" simply runs
    as another window in OSX.  No rebooting required.
    If you really need the full performance of the iMac's
    graphics for your Windows use, you can dual boot
    by creating a new partition on the drive via Bootcamp
    and install windows there.  (http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/).
    Be for warned, only Win7 and Win8 are supported by this
    method.

  • After attempting secure erase, iMac w/homemade fusion drive won't boot from *anything*

    2009 iMac with homemade fusion drive (SSD installed in optical bay).  Was working fine with Yosemite until I attempted to secure erase it before giving away the machine.
    Now the drive is borked.  Disk utility could make no sense of it, can't reformat, it can't repartition it.  And now it has completely stopped booting.  I cannot even get it to boot of an external USB drive anymore (the original operation was performed while booted from a Yosemite installer drive on a USB stick).
    I've reset the PRAM, reset the SMC, and just nothing.  All boots are attempted from internal messed up fusion drive, which eventually ends in the "prohibitory sign".
    I'm not even sure what to try at this point.  Any suggestions out there?

    Thank you for the reply.  I have since resolved the problem, although not in the most satisfactory way.
    Here's what I did:
    Pulled both drives out of the iMac, put them into a USB dock, and reformatted each one.  Both drives appeared at this point to be fine.
    Reinstalled both drive into the iMac, and started up from a USB drive.  No problem.
    Recreated the fusion drive from the terminal.  No problem.
    Now, because I am a glutton for punishment, I tried wiping the fusion drive again.  This time, part way in, it kernel panicked.  Luckily, I was able to reboot once again to the external drive.
    At this point, the fusion drive was in the exact same messed up state as when I started.  Disk Utility app could do nothing with it.
    Fortunately, this time I went right to the command line, and was able to fix things up and recreate the fusion drive before anything else bad happened.
    I gave up on wiping the drive for now.  If I need to do so in the future, I will disable the fusion drive and try to wipe each physical drive separately.
    I should note that this iMac has never given a spot of trouble before now, so I am highly suspicious of the way disk utility tries to wipe a fusion drive.  I certainly won't try it again.  (I don't know if it has ever kernel-panicked before in the 5 years I've owned it).

  • 256gb SSD or Fusion Drive

    I have a PC with a 1 TB hard drive.  I'm currently using 187gb of space.  I want to move to the "Mac World", so would it be better to get a Mac Mini with a 256 SSD or a Fusion Drive. My concern is that if I put much more on the a 256 SSD, it may "push" it too much and slow up.  Also, I've heard that continually writing to the SSD can wear it out faster than just reading from it.  Any thoughts on any of this?

    Thanks to various techniques that are handled by the OS and onboard drivers, an SSD should outlast a conventional hard drive. The two questions you should consider are: 1) will a 256GB drive be sufficient and 2) if it isn't will I be happier with a fusion drive or just using an external drive?
    You say you currently use 187GB but don't say if that's data only or data, apps, and OS. If it is data only, then you can add about 20GB more for the  Mac OS and built in applications and then more for your new Mac applications. If that number is everything then you'll probably wind up using roughly the same amount of space on the Mac. If you are into digital photography, like music or collect movies, you'll quickly go thru 256GB and if you go the iPhone or iPad route, the applications you buy for an iOS device get backed up to your computer. I have about 15GB of iPad apps stored on my computer!
    So maybe 256GB isn't enough. Fusion or external? I have an iMac with a fusion drive, I'm happy I made that decision, and I'd do it again. The one disadvantage of using an external drive for overflow is that it can add a bit of complexity to the system. Having everything on one internal drive and using an external for backing up just makes life a little easier.

  • Can you attach an external HD to the new iMac with a fusion drive?

    I'm trying to decide how to configure the new iMac I am going to buy. Can you attach an external HD to an iMac with a fusion drive?  I'm assuming it would be fine, but since the fusion drive is new, I don't want a nasty surprise.   Some of the new Mac Minis now have fusion drives, so has anyone added an external drive to it?

    This was a concern expressed in this thread: Worrying reply to Apples FAQ on new Fusion Drive
    However, Apple has since amended the FAQ, clarifying their earlier Fusion confusion.
    Therefore I believe the answer is yes, you can add an external USB HD. If Apple would only state that explicitly in this document, it would eliminate all doubt.

  • Finder is really slow ( 15 sec.) after mavericks update on brand new iMac 27" WITH fusion drive...

    When looking up files it's fine, but when trying to save or open anything through ANY program, i.e. Adobe CS6 programs, Microsoft Word, but also Apple software, finder is really slow (15 sec. or more of the same spinning beach ball) after the OSX Mavericks update on my brand new iMac 27" WITH fusion drive... This ***** really bad because it totally disturbs the smooth workflow I bought the iMac for in the first place...
    Any suggestions?
    Already tried 'clearing the plist file' through terminal; didn't work... Rebooting (obviously), didn't work.
    Will there be a fix soon?
    It's costing me way to much time waiting for the finder to show it's content when working.
    Any official word from Apple on this?

    I had a similar problem.  Tried repairing disk permissions, tried cleaning up with onyx and applejack with no luck.  Finally what did work was simply starting up in safe mode (hold shift key down after restart) and it sorted itself out
    Hope this works for you

  • I just bought the new IMAC with the Fusion Drive 3t. Can I use the Bootcamp systemwith it? If not what do you suggest? I relly need the bootcamp for quicken

    Good morning,
    I just bought the new IMAC with the Fusion drive 3T. Can I use it with bootcamp beacuse I need for Quicken?If not any suugestion?

    You can't use Boot Camp in 3 TB drives. You can download VirtualBox, Parallels or VMware Fusion and install Windows on a virtual machine. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321

  • Installing Mavericks on iMac running VM Fusion.

    Hi has anybody installed Mavericks on an iMac running VM Fusion. if so did you encounter any problems?

    Hi, Laurie -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    You can not install OS 9 on that machine, for a number of reasons:
    1. Install CDs for OS 9, those which came with a machine, are model-specific to the machine they came with; they usually can not work with any other model.
    2. All Macs with Intel processors, which yours is one of, are incapable of using OS 9 as a boot OS under any circumstances. Since the installer on all stand-alone install disks for OS 9 (any version) will run only when the machine is booted to OS 9, this means the disc set can not be used with a machine such as yours.
    3. Classic (OS 9 used as a program under OSX in order to provide an environment in which many OS 9 programs can be run) is not supported by Intel processor machines such as yours.
    4. Classic is also not supported by OSX 10.5 (any version).
    One possible work-around is to use an emulator such as SheepShaver. Whether Sheepshaver will work sufficient for your purposes, or at all on your machine, is a different thing.
    If you must be able to use OS 9, particularly as a boot OS, you will probably find it more convenient and cost-effective to acquire an older OS 9-bootable Mac and dedicate it for this purpose. Many pre-G5 iMac models, early G4 desktop models, or even a B&W G3 can be had for under US$200, some for as little as $50.

  • How do I perform maintenance  on my iMac SSD Drive so I can extend it's life

    I recently purchased a Mid 2011 27" 3.4GHZ i7 /16GB Memory iMac and would like to know how do I perform maintenance  on my iMac SSD Drive so I can extend it's life, Does apple now support Trimm or is there some thing else I need to do? Defrag?  I do not store anything thing but OS and APPS on the drive
    thanks

    There is nothing you need to do to the SSD. Do not attempt to defrag an SSD as there is no need and uses the device excessively. TRIM is supported only if the SSD is an Apple device so if you reformat the SSD there's no need to Zero Data for garbage collection.

  • HT5446 is my iMac 21.5intel, fusion drive compatable

    .Thank you in advance just wondering if my Imac can have fusion drive, seen a youtube vid with fusion drive but it was 27 inch, so I am not sure and on the Apple store didnt notice it as an up grade for the 21.5 inch, because of size maybe motherboard another size unless I over looked it, Why do I want it no clue always used a pc I bought this Imac cause it looked really nice and talked to people they love Apple products, also figured never see used macs for sale like dells left and right, so I figured they must last forever. but back to the fusion drive just like the speed, I also like it to do photoshop, final cut,Imovie. can someone tell if I need to run a compatability test on it from apple and a link to it, or looking through the "about this Mac"
    Thank You
    Ed

    From what is written in the Apple Store page for iMac 21.5 and 27" models, the 21.5 can be equipped with a 1TB Fusion drive, or 256GB flash, or 512GB flash, as options. There are more BTO options for the 27" model.
    Not sure what an Apple Store would charge you to upgrade a new iMac to one of those, but you could call ahead and set an appointment with a product specialist, a Genius, to discuss the matter. If they can do it, then you'd probably arrange to take the computer in so someone could do the job and not interfer with the AppleCare plan coverage. Authorized persons should be the only ones to open up and upgrade; however the BTO models in the 21.5" would be the normal path to get that upgrade. Just like RAM, there is no user access to upgrade. (Built-to-Order ships from an Apple Store online.)
    So that'd be my suggestion, ask them directly at an official Apple Store or see if Apple Support online http://www.apple.com/support/contact/ can answer the question for you, to see if the product can be upgraded by an Apple tech in a store near you.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Best way to install Windows 8 on an iMac with 1tb Fusion drive

    I just ordered my first iMac. Not my first mac, I have owned numerous Mac laptops in the past but am finally ready to make the switch for my main desktop .
    Now I need to installed windows 8.1 because I need to run visual studio. That is literally the only app I need to run.
    Ordered with the below specs:
    27" imac
    i7 processor
    1tb fusion drive
    16gb ram.
    I am thinking of two options:
    1) use parallels or vmware fusion and create a 200gb windows virtual machine and give this machine 6gb ram (4gb is recommend by more couldn't hurt). since the fusion drive works at a block level, my windows OS and vs should parts of the VM file should get moved to the SSD as I will be using it a lot. my main goal is max performance. i will be working on metro apps (not windows phone apps). any recommendation on which is better? parallels or vmware? stability and performance is key. i don't need any fancy UI integration and i won't run any games. happy to run windows in fullscreen mode.
    2) create a 200gb partition and run bootcamp. cleary more stable but will it be faster than above because i am assuming the ssd caching will not working here?
    per mircorosft website they give instructions for both options above, but i am looking for realworld experience in what will get be most stability in terms of network IO (working on UPNP apps so need stable network bridging) and then performance is key.
    HDD size is not a big deal for me as most of my media lives in my synology NAS.

    virtual machine will be more stable
    bootcamp will be faster but the only place you will notice is if you play new 3d games on diwndows

  • More boot camp problems new 5k imac 3 tera fusion drive

    there seems to be problems with Yosemite and boot camp assistant
    i'm cross posting this to the iMac forum but I spent hours online with apple tech today and none of the several foks I talked to there had even seen a 5k 27" yet and my call back from Cupertino and engineering is no till tomorrow so I thought I should post here too
    MMy bto 5k shipped from China sunday night and arrived in Maine this morning.... Amazing when you think about it for a bto
    iinstallation and set up we're going fine and I started up boot camp assistant to create  a temp boot camp while I wait for my thunder bay 4 box to take the drives for my old Mac pro when boot camp will have a1 tera SSD all to itself....
    so carved off a 700 gig boot camp partition which the assistant formatted fat I then plugged is the lighting to FW adapter in a LaCie 2 tera fw 800 drive to act as a bridge to my LaCie DVD burner which uses the old fw400 cables and inserted my new shrink wrap win 8.1 retail 64 DVD and up comes the win 8 install in very tiny type in a tiny window which got a bit of a laugh out of me.
    And I go through it to the point of selecting that boot camp partition and then said it could not use a fat partition and I should reformat it from the win 8.1 installer which I did and then it said it could not use and unknown partition so I said great and booted back to 10-10 and the boot camp tool to put things back and it said it could not I then went to disk tools and it also said the  3tera fusion could not be either reformatted or put back to a single partition I was on with tech support where I went up through 4 levels of support due to the 5k bto which most had no knowledge of. We tried the optioncommand r to get to DT and the same problem as did going to reinstall from the net which after a 30 min down load could not reformat either it is now kicked to Cupertino with a call back tomorrow
    ( At this point all I want to do is put the computer back in the condition it was in when i started with a plain Yosemite on an unpartitioned 3 tera fusion... Then deal with boot camp when it can have its own drive)
    am betting it will take a Unix comand line to reformat but be aware there may be boot camp issues with my configuration
    and  any help here will be great fully received

  • Can I install Windows on my iMac 27, 3TB Fusion Drive, late-2012 with Boot Camp 5?

    Hello. When I first opened the Boot Camp Assistant app, it said it could not work with the 3TB fusion drive. With the updated version of Boot Camp, the option to install Windows appeared. I tried to install Windows 8, but the loading bar stopped moving. I waited for hours, but it still did not move. I decided to quit the app, and re-open it, in order to try again. It crashed, and would not open. So I restarted my system and when I did that I noticed that I had about 1GB or so left of storage. This shocked me, because the disk was just suddenly filled for some reason. In hopes of fixing this I used an app called 'CleanMyMac' to try and recover the disk space. And as I thought the disk space returned to normal. However when I went to Disk Utility and clicked 'repair disk' it said this...
    There is only 1 partition, so the Boot Camp process did fail.
    I don't know whats wrong with my system though? I would like to install Windows, but I'm worried that I might recieve errors again. I have not got Apple Care, but I'm playing on buying it soon, due to it being almost a year since I bought the system.
    Maybe I did something wrong when trying to install Windows with Boot Camp? I don't know, but if possible can someone please tell me if I can install Windows and if something is wrong with my system.
    Here is some additional screen shots of the type of system I have.
    Thank you for your help with this issue!

    Which copy or version of Windows? and how where was it purchased?
    my window installed itself perfectly on another computer.
    One copy and you want to activate on two computers?
    With 16GB, it will try to create 16GB hibernation file, 24GB page file, and need 20-30GB for the OS, plus room for temp, cache, applications, 9GB just temp to install SP1 update(s). 
    did you create 80GB or larger partition?
    also, some macs with ssd + hard drive have issues, and of course you need Windows 7 64-bit home premium (Pro to use more).
    OWC has up to 32GB, not cheap.

  • How to correctly configure AE to utilize external SSD and Fusion drive

    OK, so I think I'm set up to succeed with the hardware I have now, but I want to make sure I'm configuring my projects and AE to utilize my setup correctly.
    Specs:
    iMac
    32 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3 RAM (8x4)
    1 TB Fusion drive
    3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
    256 GB Thunderbolt SSD
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M
    AE CS6
    So I see comments around here about separating out footage from rendered output and the cache, but I'm afraid I may need a little more handholding to be confident. With this setup, how would you configure AE and your project (in terms of disk cache location, rendered output location, and footage files location)?
    Currently my footage and output are in the same folder on my Fusion drive, while my disk cache is on my external SSD.
    Is there another way or additional considerations I should take into account to maximize the speed and efficiency of my AE editing?
    Thank you!

    There are a couple of issues in play.  Read-write speeds on SSD's are MUCH faster than hard drives.  SSD's don't suffer from physical wear & tear as hard drives do, either.  You'll most likely see a performance increase by putting footage files & renders from AE on the SSD along with the cache.
    Hence the earlier admonition about keeping the SSD cleaned off -- that baby could fill up fast after a few projects!  For archiving AE projects & media files, use a hard drive, and consider the SSD as a sort of workhorse rather than a storage unit.  That is, of course, until SSD's become price-competitive with hard drives.  Until that pont, 256 gigs should serve you well with a little housekeeping now and then.

  • Which configuration of iMac 27" ?  Fusion drive or not ? RAM upgrade ?

    I'd love to get a new 27" iMac for my Mother, but cannot decide if the higher i7 processor (3.5) is worth the price, and cannot decide if the 3TB "Fusion" drive is worth the extra $350. 
    The retail Apple stores stock the i7 only with the 3TB Fusion drive, the better graphics card, and stock 8GB of RAM, but one can configure the machine if ordering on-line via the link below.   Her husband will reimburse me or it will be a gift.  Money is not the issue.... just whether or not the money is worth spending.
    One last thing:  The apple store rep said that the "Geniuses" have to do the RAM upgrade, say from 8GB to 32GB because the 21" unit has to be opened.  So the consumer doing the RAM upgrade will void the warranty. Yet I see website indicating that the 21" has a nice convenient door to open and the RAM is user-upgradable without voiding the warranty.  Which is true ?
    Apple wants to charge $600 (parts and labor) for the RAM upgrade to 32GB.   But Crucial has 32MB of this RAM for under $300 with a lifetime warranty.  Is there a reason to use the RAM from Apple ?

    1. 27" iMac with 3.4Ghz i7 and NVIDIA GeForce GT 775M with 2GB video memory is just $200 more than 27" iMac with 3.2Ghz i5 and NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M with 1GB video memory. How much is her time worth per hour? If it's for business use, it pays for itself quickly. Same opinion for the 'build-to-order' upgrades in speed and video available on the 27" i7.
    2. Fusion drive is a hybrid combining 128GB SSD with either a 1TB or 3TB rotating platter hard drive.
    Analysis and review of Fusion drive in a 2012 iMac: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6679/a-month-with-apples-fusion-drive
    Conclusions and performance are on pages 5 and 6 of the review.
    3. 27" iMac RAM is "user-replacable", quoting from the 2013 'Important Product Information' addendum to the manual:
    "Do Not Make Repairs Yourself
    Your iMac doesn’t have any user-serviceable parts, except for memory, which is user-replaceable in 27-inch models only. Do not attempt to open your iMac. If your iMac needs service, contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple for service.
    If you open your iMac or install items other than memory in 27-inch models, you risk damaging your equipment. Such damage isn’t covered by the limited warranty on your iMac."

    4. If it's for business, go for the i7 and the video upgrade.
    5. I'd do the upgrade myself, purchasing from a reliable vendor of Apple RAM such as crucial.com or macsales.com. I have no experience with the other vendor you mentioned, RAMfinder.com. Factory-installed RAM offers the pricey convenience of having a machine configured by you online and shipped directly to your mother in a few days with no one else needing to be involved.  I'd avoid any Apple salesperson who apparently doesn't know the 27" iMac product well enough to give you the truth about user-installable RAM upgrades. OWC (macsales.com) will purchase system-pull original RAM allowing you to recoup a small portion of the cost of the upgrade, though nothing close to the resale price of the RAM.
