p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · What Macbook Pro hard drive for working with Lightroom? | |
I am currently using a Mac desktop for editing my photos on Lightroom (I have around 1.5TB of photos), but I am spending more time away from my desk and would like to be able to edit photos in other rooms in my house.
I am planning to get a 15.4 inch Macbook Pro with retina display with 16GB of ram, and am trying to figure out how large a hard drive I need and what type of external hard drive set up to get so I can work on my photos on my laptop and sync the photos and edits to my desktop. I don't use many other processor intensive apps besides Lightroom and plugins for Lightroom - otherwise it's mainly email and the web.
Should I just get a 256GB SSD since I would plan to store photos on an external drive? Any reason to get the 512GB SSD instead?
Any strong recommendations for a small external hard drive to use in this context?
Finally, as far as the processor goes, is there a huge difference between 2.0ghz, 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 2.7, etc when talking about just using Lightroom?
Thanks!
Peter
