Hi everyone!

While searching a fast AND big SSD I endet up with following idea:
A FusionDrive containing two SSDs. A big SATA SSD (SanDrisk Ultra II 960GB) and a small m.2 SSD (Samsung SM951).

But of course two important questions:
1. Will it technically work?
2. Will this make any sense?

Greetings,
Sören
 
What would you want to do to have it technically work?

The question does not make much sense...

Please don't blame me on poor English skills...

What I want so say: Will OS X accept this configuration without any errors?
 
Sure, HD is not a limiting factor for OSX installation. Other components (CPU, graphics) are

So any HD will work, just make sure that rest of the system is compatible

  1. There's no reason it shouldn't technically work.
  2. No, it makes no sense at all - it defeats the purpose of a Fusion Drive, which is to use the SSD as an applications cache for the HDD. Why cache an SSD with another SSD?

Probably because the SM951 is 4 times faster than his other SSD.
