![]() Performance: I'm not very concerned about reductions in classic storage drive performance. ![]() ![]() Potential tradeoffs & questions for a non-Fusion repair option: It's highly likely I do not know what these tradeoffs might be, so I'll list the ones I can think of & ask those providing answers to list any others they're aware of. This question(s) is intended to discover what - if any - tradeoffs are required for the non-Fusion repair option. This strikes me as an ideal solution - assuming there are no awkward tradeoffs. Some have suggested that a simpler solution to repair a Fusion Drive is simply to replace it with a single, non-Fusion SSD connected to the iMac's internal SATA cabling. For example, OWC - the primary 3rd party source for replacement SSDs for Apple products - does not make an SSD compatible with my iMac Model 17,1. For some models, one can find 3rd party replacement SSDs, but for other models, compatible repair parts are not available from any source. The repairability issue seems to be largely due to Apple's proprietary SSD designs. After two unsuccessful attempts to repair the Fusion Drive, I am now concerned whether or not this iMac is reparable: Apple declined to repair a "vintage" iMac, and the "repair" performed by a specialist Mac repair shop was an expensive failure. ![]() It was a great system until its Fusion Drive failed.
