I have been using a late-2006 C2D MacBook and just now sprung for a rMBP (refurb).
Here is my problem: I have been using a 500 gig HDD in my MacBook and am stepping back to a 256 SSD. The 512 SSD just wasn't in the budget but I figured I'd manage. Now the question is: how do I go about managing the lack of space? I have 220 GB of music and 120 GB of photos.
I don't use my music on my computer much at all -- so I was figuring I'd get them onto my backup drive and then go with iTunes Match to take care of that issue. Will that work ok?
I don't need much access to my photos, so I am fine putting those on the backup drive as well. However, how do I get iTunes to manage two libraries? I'd like to be able to send new photos to the rMBP but most can remain only on the backup. I have a hard time expressing what I am trying to say so I hope that what I wrote makes sense.
Anyone have any good solutions for managing media with a too small drive?
