what is going on guys john here with TLD
and I got my hands on a 2012 fusion
drive equipped mac mini kind of sounds
like cool whip
anyways I you guys want to see a demo
how fast it was so here i am to bring it
to you now for those of you guys who
aren't aware what a fusion drive is or
how it works that essentially takes the
speed and performance of an SSD and
combines it with the low-cost capacity
storage of a traditional hard drive
it actually is a little bit different
than traditional SSD caching or
something like Intel Smart Response
technology
it'll automatically and intelligently
move files use a lot under the SSD and
then files you don't onto the hard drive
all in the background so essentially
it's going to make it feel like you're
working and operating on SSD but give
you the bigger capacities of a
traditional hard drive now real quickly
before we jump into the testing if we go
to look into the system report you can
see there actually are two separate
drives the SSD and the one terabyte hard
drive
interestingly enough it is actually 5400
RPM so it's actually really curious to
see how the overall speed and
performance would be now even though it
appears as two separate drives their it
actually appears as one volume to the OS
so if we go into the storage section you
can see it shows up as one volume like I
said there's a little over one terabyte
accounting with the hard drive plus the
flash storage now that we got all the
info out of the way we can go to begin
testing and we're going to start out
with a boot up speed test and i'm
actually gonna compare it with another
2012 mack money for this time is only
featuring a standard for the Ford RPM
hard drive
no SSD no flash storage so you guys can
check out the difference
yeah
and the 2012 mac mini would just a 54
RPM hard drive is just about finishing
up and you can actually see there is a
huge difference between those two
next up we're going to hop over to disk
speed test and you can see the mac mini
with the fusion drive is pulling some
impressive numbers were getting write
speeds over 300 megabytes per second and
read speeds over 400 megabytes per
second
alternatively you can see the mac mini
with just the standard 5400 RPM hard
drive does not exceed a hundred
megabytes per second so the fusion drive
actually tripled and quadrupled the
performance
next up we're going to do a four
gigabyte file duplicate essentially what
it's going to do is just copy and paste
itself to the same location
i'm actually going to throw on some
elevator music or something because you
can see exactly how much quicker the
fusion drive is on this task
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
ok
yeah
ok
yeah
yeah
yeah
ok
actually wanted to throw some I jeopardy
music or something because the 5400 RPM
hard drive was taken a hell of a lot
longer and you can see the fusion drive
is actually kicking some ass
so thank you guys for watching this
video if you did enjoy you guys know the
drill on your feel like being also make
sure to go TLD style on the like button
again if you guys have not subscribed
make sure to do so of an annotation up
in the top left hand corner i'll
actually be doing more extensive testing
between the quad core and dual core mac
mini and you guys don't want to miss
that
lastly if you did miss my 2012 ipad mini
review actually got that up and you guys
can check it out and see if it's worth
the money or if it's worth the pass code
and click this video right here in front
of your face and i will see you guys
later
