iMac Fusion Drive clarification
Hello All,
Happy New Year. Can someone help explain what am looking at with the screenshot of my iMac 4k Retina 2017 model? I run windows on bootcamp and needed more space. So, in that process I mistakenly formatted the "APPLE SSD SM0032L Media" drive but not sure if that is the startup disk or the SSD part of the fusion driver.
I was able to get windows running but then my Mac drive was showing a question mark, so, I used internet recovery to reinstall Monterey. However, the performance is so slow. Earlier it was so bad that I could not do anything without spinning beachball for a long time but over the past couple of days performance has improved up to the point that it is useable again. However it's still not as fast as it used to be.
So, I just want to understand what am looking at so I know what to do next. I regularly backup and luckily that has saved me when recovering both my iMac data and bootcamp windows data. So of cause before I do anything will backup again. Just trying to see how to improve the performance because I might have messed something up.
Thanks for any insight. I don't want to send it to . If that is the case then I can manage it till I upgrade.
