I am about ready to put my order in for the new 2012 iMac 27"
Going for 3.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
8GB RAM, will upgrade to 32GB via OWC.
I just can't decide on which drive setup to order.
I am initially thinking the 1TB Fusion setup, then disable Fusion, install OS/APPS on the 128GB Flash Drive and use the 1Tb drive for iTunes storage.
Then use both, a external USB3 4TB Drive for image storage and a 256GB SSD Thunderbolt for Lightroom 4 Catalog and PS6 scratch disk.
and one more USB3 4TB for backup timemachine.
Will this work? Meaning disabling Fusion, creating 2 separate volumes, install Lion on the SSD, and go from there?
I have nothing against Fusion, but I am still worry that if the 1TB HD dies, then so does my iMac, I have much more faith in SSD/Flash drive then a spinning HD..
