All this has been discussed previously on DUC and many other places. Searching with Google will find those, something as complex as Googling for "how to separate mac fusion drive".
Thanks for your input, Darryl. A little confused though. I'm going to replace the HHD with an SSD no need for the HHD. The SSD replacement will be used for the OS, Pro Tools app, and all other apps. I'll be using an external SSD hard drive for PT audio files.

Will only separating the components, be enough for PT to work correctly or do I need to remove the card that's on the logic board? Maybe I'm making more of this than it is but I want to make 100% sure.

Also, I've also researched "how to separate fusion drive" so all good there.

Thanks!
