Fusion drive vs HDD with Logic X and Motu
Hi ppl, I have a doubt I'd appreciate some help with.
Going to purchase the new iMac 27", 5K, to work with Logic X and Motu 828 Mk3.
I'd go for the i7 processor, along with 32 GB mem. That would be a reasonable powerful machine, but to go for the i7 processor, the hard drive is no longer an option, at least is not available on the iMac configuration page. The options available with the i7 are Fusion Drive and Flash (flash being too expensive)
So I'm stuck with choosing between an i5 with the 1TB HD, or, an i7 with 1TB Fusion drive.
There's no point on having a more powerful machine and then have issues with the Fusion Drive and Logic or the Motu drive.
I think the i5 is powerful enough to manage 32 GB mem and Logic X, but it wouldn't hurt to have a bit more power as long as that doesn’t mean problems concerning the Fusion Drive. I’ve read some of the Fusion Drive issues have been solved, but are they really?
Can anyone give me their point of view on this, it'd be much appreciated.
Nigel are you there 🙂 ?
Thanks
