- Today Noah from Pogo - Coding and More is over to teach you guys how to create your own Fusion Drive. I've used this method in a couple videos, and Noah helped me with those, so I asked if he could make a tutorial video to help you guys! Make sure to subscribe to his channel: / pogostick29dev
Commands used in this video:
1. List drives: diskutil list
2. Create logical volume group: diskutil coreStorage create FusionDrive /dev/diskNsA /dev/diskMsB where you fill in N, A, M, and B based on the video
3. Create volume: diskutil coreStorage createVolume FusionDrive jhfs+ “Macintosh HD” 100%
4. Install macOS on the new volume

Incredible video, truly inspirational. Wish I could hit that like button 100 times!
hahaha
I just bought an inexpensive 2014 mac mini and was about upgrade it by adding a secondary ssd in addition to the 1tb mechanical drive. Is there any reason this would not work? Also what size would your suggest for the ssd in Catalina?
Don't we want to use APFS? How to change the terminal progamming to do that?
With newer versions of MAC OS they made it easier. Basically it combines it for you. Now this is all you have to do.
Type diskutil resetFusion in the Terminal window, then press enter.
Type Yes (with a capital Y) when prompted, then press enter.
When Terminal indicates that the operation was successful, quit Terminal to return to the macOS Utilities window.
Choose Reinstall macOS.
Thank you so much for posting this comment MVP Heat. Was literally stuck since the commands have changed. It works now thanks to your comment! Appreciate it!
@@williamrking3 no problem dude I'm doing a fresh install now with it. And it takes forever, to the point you think its not gonna work. If you have that problem then its normal. took about 3-4 hours for me to install monterey. But it all worked out for me.
I'm sorry how does "Reset" command creates a fusion drive, a little counterintuitive?
@@bagim948 worked for me. previous method didn't work. search it up. I found it somewhere on the web
How long does this take as I have a long column of y down the left edge of my screen and its been going 10 mins
I got my MacBook by paying attention to all your advises and now I could just create my fusion drive thanks to this video! Luke, you're amazing!!! Thank you so much for the amazing job you're doing on this channel! And of course you're the best Noah! 🙏 Best wishes from 🇪🇺
This perfectly worked on my 27" 2019 5k iMac! Thanks!
Most simpliest creating fusion drive. Thank you for sharing
Excellent straight-forward guidance to properly set up a fusion drive. Thank you! 🙏🏻 I have a late-2013 27” iMac with a 3TB Fusion Drive and it’s getting slower. Upgrading the PCIe NVMe to a 2TB (or 4TB) and then adding a 4TB SSD to create a faster fusion drive.
Thanks Luke for sharing this video with me on Reddit. I did this method and it worked perfectly!
If using two ssd should I still use Mac OS extended or apfs format? Thanks for your help
Thanks you are a life saver. Now to enjoy my new iMac M1
Once you create a the fusion drive can u recover all your old stuff if u made a backup on time machine and put it in an external hd?
If you made a backup of your data, you should be able to restore it like you normally would
Is there a max size limit for fusion drives? Can i build a 4TB HDD and a 500GB or 1TB SSD?
Saved my a**. Thanks a lot. Great How-to.
So, what happens, when you want to backup this odd size fusiondrive? The back-up drive naturally has to be equal in size, but what about the placement of files, should you need to delete or overwrite the fusion with the backup?
also, will the hdd-part be dormant, when not needed [and when is that?] or be as active as the SSD? I'm thinking longivity here.
And what if you physically need to replace one of the two piggybackers - what about the data on just that drive, or do you have to start over by wiping the other and reinstall the whole of the backup?
Please do a 2020 consequences video, as there are a lot of old machines out there still needing that love and attention.
hahahaha, Oh, that isn't you! That is Noah, wow Noah great tut.
Keeps saying - did not recognize coreStorage verb “create” ; type “diskutil coreStorage” for a list
Having the same problem. Did you find a solution?

What about splitting a FusionDrive? What’s the command line for that?
What about splitting a FusionDrive? can You please give Command to do this?
at which stage did you select SSD to be responsible for App openings etc. ?
Awesome video! love it. It works perfectly
You saved my life man! Thank you
Hi Luke! AMAZING process.
I'm fascinated by the partitioning move just to recognize them in the Terminal's - diskutil list -
Your process is the clearest that I've seen for High Sierra>x and I think I'll go with your process.
I've changed my internal HDD with the evo SSD. IMac retina 21.5 late 2015.
I'm now on internet recovery mode (as no OS is inside the IMac) and I wasn't sure about what to do, should I open the terminal and create the Fusion Drive like you did?
When I create the Fusion Drive does it create any issues the fact that they are both SSD's?
Or is it better to just format them separately one by one as APFS without merging them toghether?
Thanks for your time and congrats on the amazing video content!
PS: In Disk Utility I also have a disk image of the OS X Base System as you do. That shouldn't create any problem on the Terminal sa long as I select the correct dev/disks (SSD Samsung and SSD Flash Drive) right?
Did you find a solution with 2 SSD's? I'm on the same boat and looking for reliabe command codes that work with 2 ssds.
Many thanks - extremely helpful!
Hey, Luke, is this you?
works perfectly. Thank you Luke
What a smart kid, yo. Thanks!
Thank you man you are the best ;)
I kept getting a message telling me the internal ssd would not unmount. It only worked after I partitioned the drive in Disk Utility
When installing osx, does the installer know to install onto the ssd? And does it know to put downloads and other files on the hdd? Also, would this kethod work on osx mavericks?
OSX should boot off the ssd and move all more commonly used files there. Then but less commonly used files on the hdd.
Great video .... thanks
Nice job! Can you do this using two SSD's instead of 1 hdd and 1 ssd?
It works... thanks so much..
Can u do bootcamp with fusion drive ?
I want a retina MacBook Pro but in the uk they are expensive.
What's Noah doing there?
Noah!!
Apple is so useless for naming something a "fusion drive" that doesn't traverse me though time and space.. shame!
