Another thing that is not possible with a PC. (well possible but really sloppy)

I was close to running out of space on my main hard drive on my MBP.

I am blogging this because it was so friggin’ easy… I still cannot believe it.

So I ordered the new Seagate 500 GB 7200 rpm from newegg.com (my main source for tech stuff)

Prep.

1. Put the new HD in an enclosure that I got from OWC.

2. Use Disk Utility to partition (make sure you use the GUID option)

3. Used the SuperDuper program to “clone” my main 320 GB HD. (took about 3 hours)

4. Boot with the attached hard drive to make sure it works (hold the alt/option key)

5. Took it out of the enclosure and swapped out the drive (OWC website has a great video on how to do it)

6. Boot it up - Done

Works perfectly.

I could have done a clean install. This is what I had to de with my PCs in the past because Windows would build up all kinds of “crap” and start running slow.

I have a dookie load or programs and still would have been like a 3 week process getting all my programs back on.. SOOO
I am very, very pleased with this setup.

That is one of the biggest reasons I love the mac OS. No “crap” No spyware or Viruses.

Just works!!! Yipeee.

…my current one.

The latest MacBook Pro 15 inch.
fully loaded.

currently upgrading to the new 500gb 7200 rpm seagate drive.

This is my first Mac.

I had no idea what I was missing.

Build quality kills anything I have ever had.

My rig before this one was a custom built clevo for over $5k.

It was gnarly with 3 hard drives.  It weighed more than my 3 year old child.

Anyway, love my MBP size is perfect performs like a champ.

Never crashes, always snappy.

gotta go.  I will update this post with some more info soon.
