When buying a new Apple Mac you have the option to buy three different types of storage: a Hard drive, Flash storage (also known as an SSD, or Solid State Drive) or a Fusion Drive. Pimp Your Old Mac Pro With a Fusion Drive: I am a long time Mac user. In 2008 I bought a Mac Pro and have used it and loved it for a long time. To quote a good friend of mine, it is getting quite long in the tooth. As apple hasn’t released a new one in a while and there are not orders of mag. The Fusion Flex J3i system enables users to install up to three SATA drives, mounting two 3.5-inch HDDs plus one 2.5-inch SSD, or three 2.5-inch SSDs inside the 2019 Mac Pro — adding up to 36TB of storage using SATA drives. The Fusion Flex attaches securely to mount points near the computer’s PCIe slots, while the installed drives are.
I just recently heard about fusion driving a Mac to combine 2 internal drives to act as one from what I've read, my MacBook Pro from mid 2012 has a 512ssd in the main boot drive and a 750 gb Hdd in where the SuperDrive was.

Presented as a single volume on your Mac, Fusion Drive automatically and dynamically moves frequently used files to Flash storage for quicker access, while infrequently used items move to the high-capacity hard disk. As a result, you enjoy shorter startup times and—as the system learns how you work—faster application launches and quicker file access.
Fusion Drive manages all of this automatically in the background. And it comes already set up, so you don't have to do anything to make it happen.
Availability
Fusion Drive became available as an option for iMac and Mac mini models introduced in late 2012. Fusion Drive now comes standard on some iMac and Mac mini models, and is a configurable option on others. For even faster performance, you can configure a model that uses only flash storage (SSD).

Apple Imac Fusion Drive Review
- You can use Disk Utility to add a single macOS partition to the hard disk on Fusion Drive, and that partition will function as a separate volume, not as part of Fusion Drive. Disk Utility then dims the button to prevent additional partitions. If creating a Windows partition, use Boot Camp Assistant instead.
- You can use Target Disk Mode to mount Fusion Drive from another Mac that is using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later.
- Learn what to do if your Fusion Drive appears as two drives instead of one in the Finder.
- An external drive can't be used as part of a Fusion Drive volume.
