QUOTE(westlife @ Jan 6 2016, 07:28 PM) Data transfer from laptop to wd personal cloud storage is slow. and it can only be done via network (wired or wireless). So the transfer speed relies a lot a lot on your LAN speed, such as your wireless router maximum transfer speed and worst part is no USB connection can be used to transfer the data from PC into the cloud storage and it takes super long time to download data out from the storage. It will be a disaster if u need to transfer a huge amount of data onto it. Yes indeed, the lan must be a speedy one in order to get the faster upload/download to/fro rmbp and personal cloud. As reference, 5gb of data takes roughly 3 minutes wirelessly. When wired, ie rmbp hooked up to router will half its time. I think for my setup, it is exceptable. But I do remember when I first got the cloud, it took alot of time to backup all the files for the first time. Its considerably faster on subsequent backups though.I have one 2TB, it is good to use as a steaming server for video etc but it is bad when it needs to transfer data in and out from it, |

This is the worriest part, if it is to retrieve the data out from the storage, it is a painful process, especially it is talking about data in TBs.... |

The magsafe adapter on my macbook retina just failed. Disappointed with it since its only a year old and looks brand new. I hardly bring the charger around, usually just stays in the same place. My last macbook white charger lasted me about 2 years+. Expected more from this one.

Windows 10 takes roughly 9GB after clean up.Pixelmator Quiver Parallel Desktop (for booting another OS on top of OS X) MS Office suite (iWork is fine, just that productivity wise, MS is still taking a lead) CleanMyMac 3 iStatistica (love the stats!)

Yeah I installed windows 10 on it and it was crazy, but lucky for me windows XP serves everything I need and it only takes about 2GB |

QUOTE(dino89 @ Jan 7 2016, 08:14 AM) Same problem as me. 128gb is too small. Should have gottenr the 256gb when it was cheap. Now i also using the Jetdrive Lite 128GB became the greatest bottleneck that limits the usability of the device similar to 16GB iPhone. Resell value is low too for 128GB version of MacBook. |

But now the prices even more crazy high Guess will have to live with 128gb for another 5-6 years |

Ya, last time thought that 128GB was enough as I do not install alot of apps. Mana tau so fast the storage depleted |
