Whats the best way to see if my 3TB fusion drive is set up properly.?
The answer will depend on a bit more information from you.
For example,
As part of the Catalina upgrade process, your Mac's internal drive should have been reformatted as a APFS container that will have at least two volumes, called MacIntosh HD & MacIntosh HD - Data. Is this what you see in the Disk Utility?
It should look something like the following image:
macOS Catalina added additional security by literally creating two volumes; one for the OS itself (Macinstosh HD), which is read-only, and a second one (Macintosh HD - Data), for user apps and data with read/write permissions.
Then your iMac's Fusion drive was set up properly by the installation process for macOS Catalina.
Late 2012 iMac 27
Catalina
Original 3TB fusion drive from Apple.
Not external - factory installed as original internal drive
Yes. that is what I see.
Thanks. appreciate the tip. I searched a lot of help threads and the support docs and could not find a simple explanation.
