[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1932060, member: 190607"] No, I'm afraid that won't work. It would have been the way to go BEFORE the internal SSD got filled up. The problem is that the "free space" in an SSD that is more or less done isn't really free. It's been used by the OS for meta data and is full of data. It's all explained at the link that I gave. Unfortunately, there is no way to securely erase or erase the free space on a Mac SSD, so there is no way to restore the performance of an SSD that is too full.
