[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1506482, member: 38864"] Those people have no idea what they are talking about. The Fusion Drive isn't a single drive. It's two drives: a small SSD and a larger HDD. They are not physically the same drive, but OS X treats them as one. In doing so, it tries to keep the SSD full of the most frequently accessed files, with everything else "spilling" over to the HDD. The end result is that your system performance is maximized without wasting a lot of very valuable SSD space on files that aren't accessed that often. Adding a portable SSD doesn't make a whole lot of sense here. [url=http://www.anandtech.com/show/6679/a-month-with-apples-fusion-drive]AnandTech | A Month with Apple's Fusion Drive[/url] [/QUOTE]
