[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1929873, member: 131855"] I have a 2015 iMac with a fusion drive. I've booted it from clones almost from the day I got it, including under Sierra IIRC, with few issues as long as the clone completes properly. I have used Carbon Copy Cloner to make the clone but there's no reason a Super Duper clone won't work as also. If I understand your question you want to know whether you need to the fusion drive, such as separate the SSD from the rest of the drive, in order for this to work. If that's the case, the answer to this question is no you don't have to do that. For about the last year or so I've run an external clone from an SSD as the primary (boot) drive on that machine. I haven't noticed a performance slowdown compared to the Fusion drive. [/QUOTE]
