My MacBook (bought in 2008<\/a>, unfortunately just before the unibody MacBook Pros were introduced) has always been running with upgraded memory and storage but it was starting to creak. \u00c2\u00a0Performance is okay (it’s not earth-shattering but all I do on this machine is digital photography-related workflow) and it won’t take any more RAM than the 4GB I have installed<\/a> but I was constantly battling against a full hard disk.<\/p>\n

After a recent holiday when I was unable to archive the day’s shots and had to start filling my “spare” (read old and slow) memory cards to avoid deleting unarchived images, I decided to upgrade the disk. I did briefly consider switching to a solid state solution (until I saw the price – enough to buy a new computer), then I looked at a hybrid device, before I realised that I could swap out the 320GB Western Digital SATA HDD for a 750GB model from Seagate<\/a>. The disk only cost me around \u00c2\u00a373\u00c2\u00a0but next day shipping bumped it up a bit further (from\u00c2\u00a0Misco<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0– other retailers were offering better pricing but had no stock). Even so, it was a worthwhile upgrade because it means all of my pictures are stored on a single disk again, rather than spread all over various media.<\/p>\n

Of course, no image really exists until it’s in at least two places (so I do have multiple backups) but the key point is that, when I’m travelling, Lightroom can see all of my images.<\/p>\n

I didn’t want to go through the process of reinstalling Mac OS X, Lightroom, Photoshop CS4, etc. so I decided to clone my installation between the two disks. \u00c2\u00a0After giving up on a rather Heath Robinson<\/a> USB to IDE\/SATA cable solution<\/a> that I have, I dropped another \u00c2\u00a324.99 on a docking station for SATA disk drives<\/a> (an emergency purchase from PC World).<\/p>\n

I’m used to cloning disks in Windows, using a variety of approaches with both free OS deployment tools from Microsoft and third party applications. As it happens, cloning disks in OS X is pretty straightforward too; indeed it’s how I do my backups, using a utility called Carbon Copy Cloner<\/a> (some people prefer Super Duper<\/a>). Using this approach I: created a new partition on the new disk (in Disk Utility), then cloned the contents of my old hard disk to the new partition (with Carbon Copy Cloner); then test boot with both drives in place (holding down the Alt\/Option key to select the boot device); before finally swapping the disks over, once I knew that the copy had been successful. \u00c2\u00a0Because it’s a file level copy, it took some time (just under six hours) but I have no issues with partition layouts – the software simply recreated the original file system on the partition that I specified on the new disk. \u00c2\u00a0There’s more details of the cloning process in a blog post from Low End Mac<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0but it certainly saved me a lot of time compared with a complete system rebuild.<\/p>\n

Now all I need to do is sort out those images…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
