Hello Phil AKA graylinghunter,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

I understand that you would like to erase and re-install Mac OS X, but are concerned there may be extra steps due to the Fusion Drive. There is nothing special or extra you need to do to erase your computer because your Mac has a Fusion Drive.

For more information about Fusion Drives, please refer to the next attached article.

Have a great day,

Joe
