[QUOTE="Scott R, post: 346191, member: 28371"] My MacBook has a 100GB hard drive, but because I've got so much music stored on there, I've only got 7.5 GB of free space. I'm looking for advice in choosing between the following options: -Upgrade the internal hard drive to the 200GB model. This would cost $300+ to have installed, but is a slightly slowed drive (4200 vs 5400) -Buy an external hard drive and simply keep my music on that. But I'd have to have it with me everytime I want to access my music. So is it worth the extra expense of getting a larger internal drive? Thanks in advance for any comments. Scott [/QUOTE]
