The ssd drive accommodates operating system files which helps the machine to load faster than normal drive. Both drives are setup with special instructions. This is a very smart way of using two drives for speed and efficiency. These fusion drives comes in different capacities like 1TB, 2TB and 3TB by default.

Special attention must be paid to avoid breaking or damaging the screen because the cost of these screens is high.
