Upgrade SSD is the answer, of course!

What would be the point of having a laptop with an external hard drive?

@aactech - This is a bit tricky! While someone who is mobile often wants more internal storage there is a cost factor of the custom Apple SSD's, using a M.2 Ssd with an adapter is not ideal as they tend to fail quickly! This is due to the fact Apple does some special stuff which the M.2 SSD can't emulate.

If you need to carry lots of stuff then upgrading your internal SSD is the way to go! The Ultimate Guide to Apple’s Proprietary SSDs or using either a OWC or Transcend SSD's

I often find having an external drive offers important benefits too! If you only need access to some stuff when you are home as well as offering a backup just in case! That way you can trim down your needed storage internally.

O.K. thanks Dan. I guess I professional worked with Macs when they weren't so fussy. They seem so unnecessarily complicated these days though I do remember taking out approximately 56 screws to upgrade a friends Mac laptop 20 years ago.

Definitly agree with backups!

Keep up the good work.
