Your OS system is always detecting your operation, and always moving your datas between the two hard drives. They are not moving quite silently and slowly and you can not even notice the process. I read an article about the fusion drive, it said that the datas are cut into very small pieces when being moved. So once anything goes wrong, it’s almost impossible to repair.

Can you cite a source for this last statement?
