MacBook Pro Storage

So had my MacBook pro for about a year now and things have been going great with it. Kinda made the mistake at the time of getting it with only a 128GB HDD.

I have an iSlice pro in it with a microsd card in it but my god it's slow compared the the SSD drive. Any other ideas on cheap ways to boost the storage other then usb sticks?

You can replace the SSD inside, but it's expensive compared to the prices of a "normal" 2.5" SSD.

Just had a look at those kits and I can't see if it would work in the early 2015 make.

Yeah you can get them for the 2015 but yeah it isn't cheap!

cheaper to buy a normal SSD in an enclosure and use it externally

Can you not turn on iCloud storage?

Tardisk does a better job than iSlice, but once you adopt it you'll be giving up your SD port.

Tardisk looks good. Might save a few £££ and go ssd upgrade.
