Hi! I've heard lots of horror stories about the Fusion Drive splitting up during installation. Just wondering if its safe to update a Late 2014 5K iMac w/Fusion to Mojave 10.14.2.
Thanks so much!

My opinion is that it works, but any OS upgrade has potential risks. Make sure you have a good backup (preferably 2 backups) before performing any macOS upgrade.
Here is thread that has comments about fusion drives & Mojave- "Once and for all: Does MacOS Mojave work with Fusion Drives?":

Your drive will only get split up if its a 3TB Fusion drive with BootCamp installed.
If it's not, then you are good to go! Mojave is very stable and the conversion to APFS is flawlesss. Upgrade away!
Hello, I would like to know if you upgraded to Mojave and if yes, how is the performance? I have an imac 27'' 1tb fusion drive and I am thinking to upgrade too.
Thank you.
Hi! I actually held off after reading some of the horror stories here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8608711
Hopefully not everyone is affected, but I'm in the middle of a project and didn't want to take a chance at the moment.
