I bought a 2012 27-inch iMac Core i7 with Fusion Drive a 53 weeks ago. Now I know it has a conventional 1TB SATA HDD and a "blade" 128GB SSD. Are there already 3rd party replacements for the "blade" SSD? I'd like to be able to RAID 0 or Fusion Drive two SSDs to get reads/writes exceeding 1,100MB/s.
Well, Sir Jony Ive prioritizes design over cost, so he'll do whatever it takes to make it thin, regardless of the cost
Me too. I hate having the aesthetics of my desk ruined by an ugly EPSON printer and all other whatnot, ranging from plasticky business card holders and paper holders. Bang and Olufsen makes well-designed speakers, but at that price tag, I'd rather invest in new lenses for my photography job instead.
This is also not correct. CoreStorage doesn't care how large the SSD is in a Fusion setup. The OWC Aura isn't designed for the iMac but the rMBP.
This website claims to have a blade SSD that works. https://www.maxupgrades.com/istore/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_ID=401
That gives you the ability to add a second 2.5" SATA drive to the iMac. It is just a unit that adapts Apple's proprietary connector to a normal SATA connector.
