A. Any standard SATA SSD
B. Any standard SATA, USB, or FireWire HDD
C. Mac or (Hackintosh with Clover v2 UEFI Bootloader)
D. Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Installer USB (or another Mountain Lion 10.8.2 bootable drive).
Lets, get started...
1. Boot from the 10.8.2 Installer USB, format both of the drives you want to use with Disk Utility.
2. Open Terminal and type "diskutil list". You need to make note of the BSD drive locations for the two drives that will be used. Ex. disk0, and disk1
Code:
$ diskutil list
Code:
$ diskutil cs create "Fusion Drive" disk0 disk1
4. Once the fusion of the two drives has finished, in Terminal type "diskutil cs list" this will show the layout structure of your new CoreStorage (LVG) Logical Volume Groups.
Code:
$ diskutil cs list
Code:
$ diskutil coreStorage createVolume <UUID> jhfs+ "Macintosh HD" R
I don't want a Fusion Drive anymore, how to defuse?
1a. If your Fusion Drive is the startup volume, then you will need to boot with the Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Installer USB or another OS X 10.8.2 bootable drive. Once in Terminal type "diskutil coreStorage revert <UUID>"
Code:
$ diskutil coreStorage revert <UUID>
