After getting perilously close to a full disk in OS X, I decided to upgrade the drive in my MacBook yesterday. The process was incredibly simple (are you listening Microsoft?)
- Physically swap out the hard drives
- Place the original drive in an external caddy
- Boot the MacBook from the USB device (hold down Alt while booting to choose the boot device)
- Run SuperDuper! to clone the USB drive to the internal one
- Reboot.
Simple. I now have 320GB to play with, rather than the originally supplied 80GB.
Next step – Bootcamp.
