I have the exact same machine, 2011 MacBook Air, and it's always bloody out of disk space. It's the only machine I am constantly shuffling data around on. Delete photo library so I can upgrade xcode, let it resync from icloud next time I feel like having my photo stream.
Can't use it to offload and edit photos while traveling, despite the convenient SD card slot, because the disk is too small.
can't download an os update, disk full. And no, I'm not a gamer. I've been fighting that small disk for at least the past 4 years.
- robin_reala 8y agoYou can at least upgrade the storage on that era Airs, and in the last couple of years there are now adaptor cards for normal M2 SATA drives.
- reaperducer 8y agoI think the reason it works well for me is that I don't keep any photos on the machine except for the ones I'm using in Photoshop on current projects. And even then they're on a teeny weeny USB that barely sticks out of the side, and doubles the storage.
- megaremote 8y ago> 2011 MacBook Air, and it's always bloody out of disk space Obviously it depends what you do with it. A 1.5tb HDD can fill up on a week under some use cases, so it is silly to mention that yours fills up. The fact that some people can use it and it doesn't full up means it is still a viable option.
- rconti 8y agoObviously. It doesn't change the fact that an OS install and updates take up a significant percentage of that 128GB, whereas they take up an utterly negligible percentage of a 1.5TB disk.
