[QUOTE="sgentile92, post: 1634023, member: 341619"] This is my first post, so I apologize if this is in the wrong place. I'm wondering if it's worth it for me to set up a Fusion Drive. Will I see a performance boost? I've got an early 2009 Mac Pro running 10.10 the following specs: 20GB RAM 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon ATI Radeon HD 4870 512 MB My storage is set up as follows: 120 GB SSD – Used as my startup disk. Applications folder lives here 640 GB HD – Home folder lives here. 4 TB HD – I just installed this drive so right now it's got nothing on it. I've been considering backing up all my data, setting up a Fusion Drive and then restoring. With the setup I'm running, will this make a difference in performance or am I better off just transferring my home folder to the 4 TB drive? [/QUOTE]
