macOS achieves this performance by storing operating system files, commonly used apps, and your most frequently used data on the SSD. By fusing the hard disk and SSD into a single volume, a Fusion Drive provides a lot more storage than an SSD with far better performance than a hard disk. SSDs - solid-state drives - are much faster but can cost over 5 times more per gigabyte. Hard disks provide a lot of storage for a low cost per gigabyte, but they’re relatively slow. When you buy a 2017 iMac - either the 21.5-inch model or the 27-inch model - you can configure it with a 1 TB Fusion Drive for storage, but the hardware specs of that particular drive might give you pause.Īpple’s Fusion Drive combines hard disk and SSD storage in a drive that appears to the operating system as a single volume.
