[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1757034, member: 46727"] Not sure I completely understand your first question but I'll try to answer with what I know. 1. Apple has what it calls "Fusion Disks" and provides them as an option with new iMacs. Perhaps that's what you're referring to? 2. I don't do RAID and if I did, it wouldn't be RAID 1 Mirror. Too easy to break the mirror and mess up both drives. I use both Time Machine and CCC on a regular basis. CCC backups are bootable in place whereas Time Machine backups will need to do an EFI boot - which takes much longer. 3. As stated above, a Time Machine backup can be used to boot from but only when using EFI. 4. No. There are utilities which can convert NTFS to FAT and vice versa but not to HFS+ without a complete erase and format. [/QUOTE]
