Related… I have a 2014 Mac Mini with a 3TB Fusion drive. Budget permitting, I’d like to put a larger (and hopefully faster) blade drive into the PCIe slot, and a 2.5” SSD in there to replace the platter drive. I won’t need the Fusion function at that point, 2 SSDs as separate volumes should be great. A couple of questions:
# I understand that the PCIe slot is a proprietary Apple design. Is the OWC Aura product a working replacement for it, or do I need to order an Apple product from Ebay etc? I chatted online with an OWC rep recently and s/he said it would work, but I wouldn’t mind some confirmation of that.
# Following adlerpe’s 2017/06/05 follow-up comment to his primary comment, I should be able to disable the Fusion function when booted up from an external drive by using Disk Utility to reformat the drives separately, right?
