[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1744922, member: 234411"] Hello again - if you followed my link to [I]EveryMac[/I] and then read the info there that I left in the screen capture, the statement is clear, i.e. Apple often states hardware cannot be ungraded, then there often seems to be a way - the link to OWC (Other World Computing) is the same place that [B]Harry[/B] linked - contact then about a SSD upgrade for your laptop; as [B]Nick[/B] said could be expensive. But to address 'cleaning up' your current SSD, do you use TM often or just plugged an external HD into the MBPro infrequently? If the latter, then those TM 'snapshots' can add up and may account for the BU storage shown. Also, obtain the free app [I]OnyX[/I], as mentioned, to see how much of that 'Other' space can be recovered. For your 'new' photo needs, you will still likely need a larger SSD, unless your projects are 'small scale' and you move them off to external storage. Dave :) [/QUOTE]
