After much internal turmoil I have decided to upgrade to a SSD. What size drive should I get? I thought I read that one should have at least ten percent free space so that it can properly go about its garbage collecting business, etc.
I am going to buy (I believe) an OWC SSD and I expect my OS and Apps, etc will take up about fifty to sixty percent of the drive and OWC already designs it with dedicated space for drive management. Will I be happy with this much headroom? I honestly can't imagine spending more than I will have to already. I will be using a second drive for media storage files...
I'm planning on a 120 Gb drive. I think that will be plenty for my Hack but it will get a little tighter in my MacBook Pro (that's the one that will take up sixty percent of the SSD).
Thanks so much
