Hey folks
I am thinking of switching from my 500GB HD (which came pre-installed on my MBP) with a 240GB SSD drive and had a few questions and hoping you can help:
1. Has anyone else gone the route of switching from a 500GB --> 240GB? How was your experience in terms of space needs? (I know this is circumstantial but wanted to hear diverse opinions in case some use case comes up that I hadn't considered....)
2. What do you do with the old HD once you have replaced it with the SSD? I have a Windows desktop sitting around but that's about the only other device I have. I don't believe I can have this HD plugged in as an extension to my MBP externally?
3. (Again subjective) What was the most convenient way to clone the OS and installed software/files from a high capacity HD to lower capacity SSD?
Thanks!
