Design your own what? Fusion Drive? You can create your own Fusion Drive
composed of any size SSD and hard drive you want by issuing a few
terminal commands. I replaced the DVD drive in my 17-inch MacBook Pro
with a hard drive and put an SSD in the normal hard drive bay to create
a 977GB startup drive that's speedy and has lots of space - best of both
worlds on a laptop. Works great! : )

Sounds like crap ware. Hope you didn't pay too much for it!

If it were me, I'd install a new internal SSD, or if I wanted to do
something without spending money, I'd put a spare 2.5-inch hard drive I
have sitting around in there. Then again if money was no object, a new
Mac is always hard to pass up. : )
