Review of Data storage by Fusion Drive in MAC
Main Article Content
Abstract
In the age of technology and performance big players are working arduously to compete with evolving technology. Apple has
always tried to remain ahead when it comes to technology, sophistication, and performance. Apple Inc recently released a product which
was often referred to as ‘a game changer’ in the data storage market. A product called ‘fusion drive’ was promoted which is a fast and
efficient storage solution as claimed by Apple Inc. It was therefore necessary to investigate these claims made by Apple Inc, to find
whether it delivers on all enumerations. In this paper, we performed a study and review of this technology and cite its pro’s and con’s. Also,
we have laid out certain experimental results to demonstrate each function of the fusion drive along with metrics for measuring its
performance. In this paper, we investigate this new technology along with its various aspects and testify if it is better than the current data
storage methods. Also, we present a simple example which displays the working of this technology and the concept behind it.
