I did a (Blackmagic) speed = disk test on it, and I was getting write speeds that varied wildly from = almost 300 mb/s to a low of about 150 mb/s. The read speeds came in at = about 300 mb/s pretty steadily. I know the operating system = "intelligently" decides on whether or not to use the ssd or the spinning = drive, and that made me a bit nervous, so I got a usb 3.0 to use as the = cache, where I get about 280 mb/s read and 160 write, but they hold = steady. Not ideal for me, and I might just switch the fusion drive to = see it holds up. I think I'd be happier with a T-bolt, but I couldn't = get the powers that be to let me do it...
