want to increase internal hard drive space
I have a Macbook Pro (purchased in late 2008) running on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.8). The hard drive space is 250 GB (although it's really somewhere around 230 GB). I just reformatted the hard drive and chose to erase all of my old files (after backing them up on an external hard drive) and reinstall the OS. I would like to eventually upgrade to OS X Lion, but I want to increase the internal hard drive space on my laptop first. I set up an appointment with the Genius Bar for Wednesday morning, but from what I understand (after doing some searching), they may not necessarily be able to help me. I'm a little lost when it comes to the more technical terms and I don't know where to begin my search in finding an internal hard drive online. Does anyone have any recommendations for a certain brand? I would like to upgrade to 500 GB.
