imac – How can I verify my hybrid drive is working?

My iMac suffered a tough drive crash a pair years in the past and I used to be pressured to reformat the drive and reinstall from scratch. Efficiency has been horrible ever since. It may be as a result of the SSD by no means bought configured to be the cache for the onerous drive — i.e. there isn’t a longer a hybrid drive. (Or it is perhaps as a result of I additionally upgraded the OS (at the moment working Monterey), or it is perhaps bloatware. Or perhaps after I upgraded the RAM to 16G just a few years in the past I put in the unsuitable stuff.)

Machine is a 2017 27-inch iMac.

So proper now I am making an attempt to slim down potentialities. This morning I deleted a complete bunch of software program I by no means use, together with Parallels VM. Now I am wanting into the SSD difficulty.

tl;dr: how can I verify that my SSD is getting used together with my most important drive?
