| I have the new iMac with a fusion drive, but haven't been in AE a lot to verify how well it works with the disk cache. 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...
