[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1744899, member: 234411"] Hi again [B]Rossco...[/B] - thanks for the information! :) I found your computer at [URL="http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core-i5-2.6-13-mid-2014-retina-display-specs.html#macspecs1"]EveryMac[/URL] - scrolling down the specs to the SSD, you obviously have the 'small' one (see screen capture below) - Apple did not intend this drive to be upgraded, but there is an OWC link that might be of interest - thus, the size of this SSD is likely to really hamper your intended photo efforts. The other issue is that the SSD is completely filled - usually 15%-20% 'free' drive space is recommended for some 'breathing room'. First, you have a lot of 'backup storage' - these may be Time Machine (TM) 'snapshots' if you intermittently use that Apple app - let us know. Second, you have the dreaded 'Other' storage category taking up a LOT of space - check [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/switcher-hangout/291480-os-storage.html"]LINK 1[/URL] and [URL="http://osxdaily.com/2015/01/15/other-storage-space-mac-os-x/"]LINK 2[/URL] to better understand this term.
