Fusion Drive Failure - Replace Questions
iMac late 2015 Fusion 11.4 2tb
Fusion drive has seemingly failed, refuses to boot. TDM reveals data is all there and I have current backups through TM & CCC.
What I would like to do is replace the HDD with SSD and split the fusion drive & use only the SSD.
I need to know specifically how to split these & is it possible to install the OS before the teardown? I have tried to DL Big Sur for bootable, but it keeps trying to install on the older MBP I am using.
The Fusion thing is confusing. Thank you very much in advance.
I realize it limits the speed but Im not really comfortable with tearing the thing down to access the blade SSD. The HDD replacement isn't too bad & I have the drive and adhesive kit.
