There is an article in this month's Macworld on fusion drives and DIY fusion drives. It's not a new concept but Apple seems to have done some great software magic to make it really be seamless to the users.
I would read this article before venturing into DIY and then, as JK advised, would do the SSD as an external (no real speed loss with thunderbolt anyhow)
Tom
I dont know enough about the fusion drive workings and engineering but it required a SSD for short term data use (OS and frequently used data) and a HD for longer term data and application storage.
Like Tom says there are options but it also depends on which machine you have to do the work on. Apple will not do it for you so it is either an Apple dealer with a good techie or a DIY job.
The new Unibody Macs are less deconstructable than the older ones and the MBAir is a nightmare as is the new iMacs.
Apple aint making it easier for us to fiddle!
