Hey guys, I have a question for YOUR opinion.
I'm not sure if I should get a better hard drive for my mid 2009 MBP. I currently have a 160 gb hard drive but I do a lot of videos and have TONS of pictures which I want to keep secure while also opening space in my hard drive.
The question is, should I get a faster hard drive that has maybe 500 gb or less but more than 160 gb to switch it out with my current hard drive and then turn my current hard drive into an external or just skip all of that and just buy a simple external to put stuff and my backups? (I'm not completely sure how time machine works as I have never used it before so I don't know how much space it would take up) suggestions? btw good brands for hard drives or externals?
thanks! highly appreciate the help!
