where can i store all my music cds and photos instead of in my laptop?

portable hard drive 10 tb image

count aluc

Whats the dif between portable hard drive,flashdrive,memory stick...I have about 300 cds & 1000 photos.

Answer
wait, lets see volumes first

300 cd's @ 700 mb each > 210 gb
1000 photo's ain't that much, but you could add 10 gb

so in effect you presently have 220 gb of storage to handle

jolly well forget flash drives and memory sticks and all
4 gb to 8 gb is all that you can realistically expect

and we are left with the other solution > portable or external hard drives
something in the range of 500 gb to 1000 gb ( 1 tb ) is what you should be aiming for, cause your collection is going to expand ... looking into the future i mean

500 gb

How to clear Space on Mac?

Ana

I'm serious I only have freakin' 10 GB left!! My computer is getting pretty slow because of this! I was thinking of buying a TB portable hard drive and then hooking it up to my mac and moving all the videos and pictures and media to the hard drive because it takes up A LOT OF SPACE! Will it work? Or do you have other suggestions?

Answer
Actually Mac OS X is good at of taking care of itself, if there are performance issues, there are a couple of things you can check:
* Check your Login Items under System Preferences > Accounts to see what you have automatically launching.Also check /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Users/yourusername/Library/LaunchAgents/ for items launching at startup
* Launch Activity Monitor and change "My Processes" at the top to "All Processes". Then see what may be consuming your OS X system resources.
* Check the System Memory tab at the bottom of Activity Monitor to see if you have excessive "page outs", a sign that you may benefit from more RAM.
* Check if you are running any poor Mac anti-virus programs as they may take large resouces.

If you don't want to do these manually or the above check still won't help, let this Mac speed up program http://www.anysoftwaretools.com/speed-up-mac.html to perform a health check of your Mac and fix relevant issues easily. Regards.
