NTFS turns 30 years old today! I hear it's still in use by some crufty old legacy operating systems ๐Ÿ˜ (en.wikipedia.org)

As a full time desktop Linux user since 1999 (the actual year of the Linux desktop, I swear) I wish all you Windows folks the best of luck on the next clean install ๐Ÿ‘

I don't think a spanned volume is quite what they were after. I'm pretty sure macOS uses the SSD part as a cache and it's used mainly for increasing the performance of the relatively slow but large capacity HDD. Nowadays though you might as well just go with all SSD in most cases if performance matters.
