Apple Quietly Made the Fusion Drive Much Smaller

For the last few years , Apple ’s iMacs have tried to combine the good of both storage worlds in the Fusion Drive , a SSD / arduous - drive combo that ’s meant to flux carrying out and memory capability into one . Thenewly refresh iMacsare sporting Fusion Drives , but they ’re much smaller than their forerunner .

The Fusion Drives in previous iMacs combined a 128 GB SSD with a harddrive ( mostly 1 TB ) . That gave you enough outer space to lay in the operating system , and your more important programs and games , aid all that run quicker .

In the raw iMacs , the 128 GB SSD has been reduced to 24 GB SSD ( in the entering - grade 1 TB Fusion Drive — the 2 TB and 3 TB drive still get with a 128 GB SSD ) . That ’s still big enough to store the OS — mean you should still get fast boot times — but precious little else . I imagine a few corners had to be cut to make that 4 K screen low-cost .
