Hey guys,

I was given an i7 3.4 GHz late 2012 iMac which is set up with a 1TB Fusion drive. From what I understand, there is a PCIe 128GB SSD that is attached to the logic board and a 3.5” 1TB 7200 rpm HHD.

Now, I completely understand that Fusion drives and Pro Tools is a big No-No and I don’t need the headaches either.

Can I completely disable, remove, unfuse, etc the PCIe 128 GB card and have Pro Tools work without issues? I'll also be replacing the HHD with a 500 GB SSD. Is there any OS drawbacks of doing it this way as well?

My main system is a Mac Pro and configured nicely so the iMac would be a second work station.

Thanks for your input.
