Actually, the one benefit of having a fusion drive is that you have two ports to connect SSD drives. The fusion Drive uses a SATA port for the spinning drive and a PCIE slot for the SSD portion of the drive. You could swap both of those drives out to make the machine have two internal independent SSDs. It's a sweet set up! If you have an old Mac Mini with a fusion drive, it would be a great machine to upgrade.
