Not only will it take longer, but this is risky enough that I recommend having two backups. I don't recommend only relying on your Time Machine backup to restore your data.
#MACFUSION FROZE HOW TO#
I could not figure out how to build a Fusion Disk without wiping out the contents of the drive, so you'll probably want to get another drive, which would also come in handy if disaster occurs, which it certainly might. The MacPro sled uses the bottom mount screw holes, so I needed the more elaborate adapter above. Note that many 2 1/2" SSDs include a 3 1/2" adapter bracket, however the one that came with my OCZ drive only has side mount holes for screws. I really wasn't sure if this was going to work so I got aġ28 GB OCZ Vertex 4 for $ 105, which was on the recommended list at OWC has a replacement sled that will directly mount a 2 1/2" SSD in a MacPro, but I didn't know about it at the time, and instead I used a You may need an adapter to mount a 2 1/2" SSD in a 3 1/2" drive bay. OWC has brackets for all sorts of machines, so you should check there. I'm thinking about getting one, since I never use the DVD drive. Other World Computing has a mounting bracket that allows you to remove your DVD drive and replace it with an SSD. This pretty much rules out most of the laptops, except if you have a MacBookPro with a DVD drive, You need room for at least two internal hard drives.
#MACFUSION FROZE UPGRADE#
You'll need a Mac running OSX 10.8 "Mountain Lion." I tested it on a 2010 MacPro with 10.8.1 and even did the upgrade from 10.8.1 to 10.8.2 running off the new Fusion Disk successfully, and very quickly! There are some updates to this post, scroll down to the bottom before you embark! I did do it on my main computer, but I also have several others I can rely on while restoring the machine back to working order.īut I will say that it's FAST. You should probably think twice about doing this on a computer you use for real work, because it's experimental. I should point out that this is highly experimental, there is a high risk of accidentally destroying all of the data on your hard drive and who knows how stable it actually is, though I have been impressed so far. So, the obvious question is: can you build one yourself and use it on an older Mac? YES!
Great work here which made me pretty confident that it would work. I got some hints that it was possible from
#MACFUSION FROZE PLUS#
There were also reports that it's also not some special drive, it's pretty much an off-the-shelf SATA SSD plus a regular SATA hard disk.
Being part of the OS it has much better knowledge of this than at the drive level. Other companies have done this, but one of the neat things is that Fusion Drive is built right into OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion and instead of being a cache, it migrates files back and forth between the drives in the background, putting the stuff that's most beneficial to performance on the SSD. One of the recent announcements from Apple is that you can get some of the new Macs with Fusion Drive, which combines a fast but small SSD (Solid State Disk) with a large, slow, but cheap conventional hard drive.
