[QUOTE="bill272, post: 1929872, member: 404317"] Hi I am going to boot from a external ssd evo870 (made for internal) with a sata usb-c cable containing a superduper clone of a sierra osx, to a 2017 imac thunderbolt port. When I boot from this external drive, will the mac still be using the fusion setup with the flash storage (and original hdd) still in place in the imac? That is using the internal 32 Go flash storage part of the old fusion and the new external clone of sierra. If yes, can I just leave things as they are and keep using the external ssd, without doing any fusion modifications? Is it going to run fast and smooth? or do i need to modify the fusion with this new setup, for it to work fast and smooth. I am just looking for a simple way to get things working, it doesnt have to be perfect, But if something needs to be fine tuned i would like to know what my options are, so i can choose what to do. Thank you [/QUOTE]
