Dear iFixit My name is Ethan, here’s a question I’m confuse few days I own a newest version of iMac 27" (2015 late) 5K display, i5 1TB Fusion Drive. could I replace the Fusion Drive( a PCIE SSD with a 7200RPM HDD 1TB) to one single PCIE NVMe Gen 2 or Gen 3 x4 256 or 512GB? if I could and follow how with iFixit tips, what choice of SSD I have? (I mean it can really working on the New version of iMac in 2015 late) by PCIE NVMe gen 2 (ro3? )x4 SSD (seems the performance should be Write 1500mb/S and Reading 1800mb/s around.) Please kindly reply, Thanks a lot! Ethan Chang
You really dont need to change it to be honest but if you do any hard drive that you can connect via a pcie port should work as long as its mac compatible. Just in case you dont know what a fusion drive is its a 128gb SSD linked to a 1tb Hard drive in a special arrangement giving you a good balance between speed and storage space
