[QUOTE="ryanlabe1, post: 1611891, member: 319831"] Hi all, I'm really not sure what I should do. I'm a DJ that uses my macbook all day long at my day job, and then for DJ'ing as well, needless to say, heavily used. I've already changed the hard drive once, which I took the opportunity to go bigger for music storage. I'm finding files that used to be ok, coming up as 'corrupt' in my DJ software, which does analysis of files regularly. I'm not sure if the drive is nearing its life end (750Gb Western Digital with an average of 80Gb only free on it at all times). I'm not sure if I should be looking at getting a new macbook for one...since the battery on this one is also getting weak, or if making a the big purchase of a Samsung 1Tb SSD would be the best bet, which would probably help my battery life, and speed things up to get me another year or maybe two out of this laptop. I'm also confident that copying all my files over from the Time Machine drive to a new SSD drive, and re-encoding them, will fix the corruption issues on many of the old files that haven't been used in a long while currently coming up as corrupt. What are your thoughts?? Keeping in mind, I have to have at least 750Gb worth of HD, which means upgrading the HD of a new macbook even if I were to do so... Do you feel the SSD drives can be trusted, for the heavy use I do on my laptop? [/QUOTE]
