I've given up... Now I always order the 4TB option with any new mbp I order. Like this I never have to think about diskspace. I know for a fact that there's a lot of useless junk that I shouldn't need. I know that devs are lazy about cleaning up disk space and long are the days of my 120mb hard disk on my 486 but after struggling with disk space growing uncontrollably in a 1TB ssd, I just can't be bothered dealing with that.
By doing this, I'm part of the problem. By not establishing boundaries and refusing to install apps like Xcode that are programmed to put as much trash as possible, I contribute to making it acceptable for developers to treat us like this but it's a fight I'll admit I've lost.
- haileys 4y agoI feel you. My macbooks have always reached the point of feeling very cramped for storage and I find myself juggling for disk space more often than I'd like. This is mostly because I simply won't pay an extra thousand dollars - what Apple charges for maxed storage in my currency. I recently ordered a Framework laptop. It's yet to arrive, but I'm already excited about the fact that I could just order a very large, very fast, top of the line NVMe drive from a PC parts vendor for only a few hundred dollars.
- addandsubtract 4y agoInstead of getting a bigger internal disk, I opted for an external USB-C drive. The one I got (SanDisk Portable SSD) has 2TB of storage and transfers data at 1GB/s, so fast enough for everyday uses. I use it mostly for cold storage of larger files I rarely need and backups. So instead of spending $600 on the internal 2TB, my external drive only cost me $200 and is small enough to fit into any pocket.
