I'ds ee about getting that Fusion drive swapped out for an ssd of some sort.
Been trying all week to regress my OS back to 10.10.3 in hopes that being "fully compatible" would solve the problem, but had no luck. Crashed about 7 times in the past 4 days, all with no particular task happening. Completely random every time. I wiped my drive and reinstalled the factory OS that came with my Mac (10.10.3) through an internet recovery boot up, but after several tries, it remained at 10.10.5. An Apple "specialist" claimed that Apple deleted 10.10.3 from the servers...

Planning to replace the drive, not sure it's a job I'm wanting to go after, so I'll outsource it. However, a lot of Mac forums highly advised not putting any drive other than a fusion drive in a computer that left the factory with one so I'm a little wary. Also considering just spending the cash to go to 12, buy my money's on the drive sadly.

I guess my question is, what's the deal with Fusion Drives and PT? While I understand PT is a program more complex than any of us understand, it's the only program that hasn't played so nice with the system drive. Ableton, StudioOne, MainStage, and Logic X all run true. Any insight on the technical reasons why the two don't mix? I see people all over this forum completely against them. I'm not partial to it all, just curious.
