Recently I came to the realization that I was out of space on the 150GB Hard Drive my Macbook came with. So I was in a bit of a pickle. Do I migrate everything to an external? Do I delete stuff? What are my options? I have old external hard drive set up as my Time Machine so I decided to head over to trusty Newegg.com and buy a new internal hard drive.
