And then how does the fusion drive work then? Is the data closer to the middle or the edge of a fusion drive?
Trick question by the way. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of dan d.

THe read/wright speed at the rim is fastest. It has to be faster at the rim to cover for example 90 degrees of rotation then a point at the center for the same 90 degrees. My thinking was that if there are some things for which I want fastestt read/write speeds it would be from the 2nd partition if it is created closer to the edge of a platter, assuming a single one in a hard drive.
