    Needing More HD Space

    I made the dumb decision to spend over $4000 on a 16" MBP about 6 months ago and only got 1TB of disk space. Right now there's 80gb free and that'll go pretty fast.

    Updating to SSD Drive

    Hello all... How well would El Cap run with a 2009 MBP with 120 GB SDD? This computer is my secondary machine that is really only used for basic web-browsing and occasional web development... How would the age of this computer affect the performance? Thanks!
