>"It’s a tiny thing but the upgrade from three quarters of a TB to 1TB of SSD made the difference for me. Once, I had a MacBook Pro with many tens of gigabytes available get bricked by some upgrade … (all) because it didn’t have enough spare storage room. So I don’t want to be close to full on (storage, ever).”*
I wonder what he wants all that storage for. I'm a bit nuts about how many Coursera videos I download and keep and I buy media via Amazon, but I can't even imagine needing 10 gigabytes of storage on my laptop.
- nknighthb 13y agoI think you're having a unit problem. Just an OS install takes at least a few gigabytes, and even SD video (at decent quality) is going to be around 1GB/hour. An HD movie will easily be 4-6GB. And if you've got, say, Xcode installed, there goes a few GB, too. Common Adobe media applications are over a GB these days. Even VMware Fusion is more than half a gig.
