I keep media on the system drive when working if it can fit. It's been a decent workstation replacement when I need one. My main concern regarding a fusion drive is that when someone works in media creation there's a lot of media that gets tossed around and I'm not sure if the fusion is suited to that kind of work. Especially when you move large files around. -Rob P.S. Here's an article I found regarding Fusion: http://www.macworld.com/article/2017365/lab-tests-pushing-a-fusion-drive-to-its-limits.html On 3/27/2013 11:42 AM, Jack Tunnicliffe wrote: > I have a new MacBookPro with the 768 Gig SSD and I swear its 300 percent faster than my recent generation MacBookPro.

I'm guessing my new laptop is actually faster but could be wrong.
