I've been running with the SSD on the Retina 15" and an external USB3 drive for rendering. 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.

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

I have a new MacBookPro with the 768 Gig SSD and I swear its 300 percent faster than my recent generation MacBookPro. I haven't run extensive tests but even loading the application and plug ins is super fast. I have the disk cache set to the internal drive as well and ram previews are enormously fast.
I don't have a Fusion drive in anything but I have a desktop machine with fibre connectivity to a server and a dedicated SSD for AE cache. I'm guessing my new laptop is actually faster but could be wrong. Will try and run a couple of tests this afternoon.

Hi - is anyone using a new iMac with a fusion drive?
I'm wondering if the 128GB of flash storage will work well with the disk cache in AE.
I was going to get the 3TB Fusion drive but I could get the 768 Flash Drive ($$$) and use an external drive for storage.
Thanks,
Rachel
