[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1524595, member: 24160"] [url]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/switcher-hangout/291480-hard-drive-storage-other-10-7-10-8-a.html[/url] The MBA has a SSD drive, there is no need for any "optimizing" of disk space to make it faster. ------------------------- edit: The only cleaning utility recommended here is [URL="http://www.titanium.free.fr/downloadonyx.php"]Onyx[/URL]. While I run it perhaps once every 2-4 months on my mechanical drives, I have not really found the need (as it relates to the speed of my MBA) to run it at all. (Having said that, I have used it to clear out some of the junk, I think twice in the just over 2 years I've had my current MBA.) And I am a speed junky - I typically notice the slightest change in the speed of my computers. edit 2: With that small size drive, would recommend getting an external drive for additional storage of amy music, video, etc. type files along with a backup drive if she doesn't already have one. Backup, backup, backup... [/QUOTE]
