Hi everyone, just wondering if using less than 128 GB on the fusion drive will mean it never uses the hard drive?

Can anyone confirm this is the case?

Cheers 🙂

P.s Sorry if this has already been mentioned, I can't find a thread with it on

Fusion only uses hdd when SSD is close to full (4gb to full that is).

Is there anything official like an article on this? I'm wondering if the hdd won't even spin up till this point (which would be great).

Thanks man

This is probably the only good description of what's happening
