Hellos forums,
I bought a MacBook Pro retina that only has a 256 GB solid-state drive. I'm running out of space and I was wondering what's the best solution for my dilemma. I was thinking about just getting a thunderbolt drive, but the idea of storing everything on a portable hard drive on a portable laptop seems cumbersome. If this is my only option then for sure I'll take it, it's better than no option.
The other option I was considering was, voiding my warranty and getting one of those OWC solid-state drive replacements. Clearly the voiding warranty part is the downer on this option.
Granted I could save money getting a thunderbolt drive and just dealing with the inconvenience of plugging and unplugging as needed.
The main reason why I'm running out of space is cause I partitioned my hard drive so I can run Windows 8, And now I'm feeling the effects of space deprivation. My question to you is it possible to run Windows 8 on a thunderbolt Drive externally And would this be ideal?
Basically I have a lot of questions and I don't know the answers, if you guys/gals can please help me out that'll be much appreciated
Thanks in advance
