fusion drive owns. corestorage lv basically does an lru cache on the ssd much like megaraid cachecade. windows dolts unsurprisingly cant comprehend because its simply not possible with antiquated microsoft technology

sshds are pretty cool for videogame consoles for caching frequently used maps and such, but i don't know how much 8gb of flash nand memory on a 2tb drive (seagate firecuda) does for macos users. i'm sure it has its uses

maybe today SSDs are cheap enough where that's the smartest option idk back in 2014 when i got this imac, the fusion drive was a sick 2 nasty compromise that still holds up today tho and saved a poo poo ton of money vs. 1.12 tb worth of ssd

fusion is really great at moving your working set to the ssd and caching your writes so that you're never waiting on the hdd but still having the fat storage volume.

streaming video is bad. streaming video is so bad the other night we were watching a Bridge Too Far remux over wifi, but were having problems w/ subtitles so we loaded it on amazon prime. the drop in quality was absurd. it was blocky as hell and like someone had smeared vaseline all over the screen if u arent streaming remuxes uncompressed from a nas get the gently caress out

netflix tends to work pretty fine, except their auto buffering takes like three minutes to adjust when you start playing apple tv has been tolerable, but godzilla was absurdly dark and undetailed, tv calibrated and all i've tested out plex and i always end up with an infinitesimal audio desync for some reason ideally, we'll buy 4k versions of movies and stream them, but it's definitely still a mess, especially when movies seem to get out weeks in advance in places like itunes for some reason

i felt like most of the netflix buffering issues had been worked out, but I might be lucky with tv shows recently since theyre old and standard def originally prime video is laffo about buffering, but i use a sony device for it so i cant tell who is the shittier part of the experience

I'd be cool with lower resolution input like it maxes out at 1080p or 1600x2560 or something I'd just like to be able to plug my lovely work laptop in and use it as a monitor instead of having a whole monitor just for every other friday
