    Sierra Upgrade eats available SSD space on mid-2010 MBP

    I have a mid-2010 MBP that I upgraded with a 128gb SSD in the normal bay, and a 1tb HDD in the superdrive bay. I use the SSD for the OS and symlinked most of the user files to an HDD in the superdrive bay (thus keeping the minimal amount of information on the SSD). Since upgrading to Sierra I...

    SSD for iMac9,1

    Planning to install ~128GB SSD in iMac 9,1. Looking for SSD around $40-50. What do you recommend and what else should I know? Also, after I install an SSD, should I install a fresh installation of macOS 10.12 with the new APFS? or should I restore the existing 10.11.6?

    I've got a 1TB Samsung SSD in my iMac, installed about a year ago. Annoyingly enough It's now had an astonishing 17.1 TERABYTES written. Is it just me or does this seem really high? I know Crashplan is one culprit, and I just moved the cache to an external HDD. Looking at activity monitor...

    After buying my macbook pro retina (13-inch, late 2012), it was only about a year before I realised that the installed 128GB wasn't nearly enough.
