Dude mad props. I have avoided "fusion" drives like the goddamn plague for all the reasons you list. I also got spinny platters in my Mac Mini because if it shelled you can always just replace it right?

WERRRRONGGGGGGGGG

'cuz Apple uses a proprietary bios now because fuck you, that's why, so now I have a mac Mini whose soul lives on a USB 3 drive. Because apple, last I checked, wanted $550 for a 1TB spinny platter fujitsu with their proprietary bullshit BIOS on it.

yah... I wasn't 100% sure the blade SSD from the MacBook would work, but all indications pointed to yes. I gambled and it worked!

I really love/hate apple.

thanks for the mad props!
