If you’re a Mac user you learn very quickly and harshly that you can’t upgrade your computer’s internal drive like you can with almost any other laptop. Your needs changed, you thought the smallest size was fine, but now you need more. So you think of solutions to solve that. And that’s what I’ll try to break down for you today. Here’s all the storage options available to you and what would work best for what you personally do. Let’s start.

So glad that you set out of the different options rather than just say NAS!
Love my NASes but don’t think the average person needs one!
I go to these videos when I'm using my MacBook Pro after a few days of neglect. Love your content.
What a great presentation. You put a lot of work into this, and I for one, really appreciate it (especially at almost 76 years old!). You should set yourself up as goto consultant for people who need assistance for tech set-ups, etc., using Skype, Zoom, FaceTime, or whatever. You come across as someone very patient. I took your advice and purchased (it arrived today!) a Samsung 2TB SSD. I got it to work, although it was a bit buggy. The app it came with had to be 'force quit'---no option for a regular 'Quit'. Anyway, thank you! P.S. What about tape drive storage? Back in the day they used to be around. I am thinking about something that cannot be corrupted like SSDs are susceptible of. In other word, besides cloud storage, what is the most least likely storage device that will last and last. I learned (if true) that eventually CDs and DVDs will 'fade' or something like that over time--they are not an almost 'forever' medium. I would never have thought that because the disc isn't being physically being touched by anything, like a needle on a vinyl record.
Thank you
Please do another with something
Between T7 and NAS
Thanks for the storage suggestions. When my laptop is parked at home it's attached to two external SSDs. One is being used for Time Machine backup and the other, a 2TB device, is for storage. When I'm on the road I have a thumb drive for when I need temporary storage.
That’s pretty comprehensive! Any offsite storage you’re using?
@@JimmyTriesWorld I have the option of using iCloud but I don't like storing sensitive information in the cloud. I use a 4TB platter drive in an external enclosure for periodic backup, and if there's a complete disaster I can restore my MBP using a Time Machine image.
Thanks
I have been using iCloud to store all my important document and photo, because its the closest we can get to having enterprise level protection for our data.
This is after a painful experience of losing my family vacation photo when my PC disk were all fried by a failed PSU.
Toffee share is better than flash drive
I hate external hard drives, was sold on it being better than sd cards, lost two separate hard drives that failed. Ironically had a second copy of sd cards. Now I use cloud, and sd cards with super important stuff also saved to another flash and sd card.
Man that sucks to hear. Hope they were still under warranty.
@@JimmyTriesWorld so it was a sea gate hard drive, they replaced it and the replacement broke too… 🤦🏻♂️
I use all of these, after I iron my tshirt ;)
😂
First
I plan on backing up to floppy. I have an order in for an entire pallet to start backing up to my floppy RAID array...
Nah... I'm just kidding. I have my Macs backing up to two separate Time Machine drives and my PC has some online storage for just my documents and things like that. Oh and my Macs do the whole iCloud thing.
This is another disappointing video of sharing “external storage” options but not actually helping people who run out of storage. If you have “video files” or other specific type of files that support moving to an external or cloud storage that’s fine, but most people run out of storage for there photo library or other system related storage. What do they do then? Just another useless video about external storage, I wish the video’s descriptions were more honest.
Yeah I was going to write the same thing as yeah people need to back up but they also want daily access to their photo libraries and if it lives in the cloud they can’t back it up locally with out downloading. For me I ended up getting 2TB internal drive keep everything local and then a Samsung t7 to back it all up and a laptop. The only bummer was I couldn’t house my videos on internal drive so I just keep that backed up across 2 externals
I get where you’re coming from with this comment. This video is more Mac focused with the vast majority of them within the last decade or so, unable to add internal storage. Which is why the video heavily focuses on external storage usage as a means to supplement the internal drive, not replace it. If you’re talking about going into greater length how each one could be used, I definitely could have provided more depth there. Thanks for the feedback!
"Most people Run Out of storage for there photo library or other system related storage". And what's the Problem then with an external Drive or a NAS?
@@electronicstv5884 it means if I want to view my photos I have to be at a desktop machine of if a laptop then you have to remember to always bring your external drive with you which is a massive pain. Sadly the best way is the most expensive and that’s pay for more internal storage
@@mrjamesmay3548 I mean, yeah, your data needs to be stored somewhere. But I really don't understand the Problem why a NAS wouldn't solve your problem. Either you store your data locally, or in the cloud. Third option would be to use a "Hybrid System" like a NAS, that has internet access and is accessible from outside your home.
