Hello,

My wife & I are planning to upgrade from a 2012 Mac 21" to the new MBP's just released.

If it were up to you how would you store your media? Music & photo's are our biggest concerns. We don't want to choke out our new MBP's with thousands of purchased songs, movies & vacation photo's but I'm not sure if we should go with a personal cloud or just use iCloud or external HD?

I just checked my iTunes & I have 55GB of music & I'm sure my wife has about 1/2 that on her own.

I'm not a fan of the Music Match because from what I'm gathering I'm streaming my own content back to myself?? I've already paid for it so I don't want to pay to play it again.

Or should be just get a huge external HD & load our iTunes & iPhoto onto that?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
