Splitting the Fusion drive

問題

The spinning HDD side of the Fusion drive developed unrecoverable hard damage. Led to a surprising number of spinning beach balls.

修理

Straight forward. The wheel cut made screen removal quick.

アドバイス

Vacuum what dust you can during the job. Also, the HDD rubber boot completely fell apart. I just put the ends back on before screwing the HDD back in place.
