Questions on fusion drive Vs discrete drives

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

I have an iMac 4K 21.5” from 2017 with fusion drive, it is the 18.2 mode

I purchased a NVMe Solid-State Drive Upgrade 2.0TB OWC Aura Pro X2 Gen4 It is one of those that goes on the internal card in the slot.

I have several questions to see if you can help me. By having fusion drive I have two hard drives, one SSD which is 32GB and then the HDD which is 1TB. My question is how would you set it up to get the most out of it?

1 - Remove the two fusion drive disks and put only the new 2TB NVMe on the board?

2 - Put the 2TB NVMe on the board and leave the 1TB HDD too?

Thank you so much And once you do one of the two options, how should you proceed to restore everything from zero

Thank you and greetings 👋

Hello Dan, I'm a little lost because I don't quite master the language well.

Could you answer me to a few?

Which is better and easier to mount OWC aura pro x2 ssd or OWC aura pro x2 ssd 2tb + Hdd sata 1tb?

Thank you
