Apple no longer uses hard drives in most of its laptops in its current lineup, opting for speedy flash storage. (The always-forgotten non-Retina 13-inch MacBook Pro (http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs/) uses a hard drive.) Flash storage, however, doesn’t have the low price per gigabyte that hard drives offer. If you bought a Mac laptop recently, you probably bought it with 128GB or 256GB of storage. That’s well short of the terabytes offered in hard drives nowadays, so it’s possible you’ve filled up your flash storage space.</p><figure class="medium right"><a class="zoom" href="https://cms-images.idgesg.net/images/article/2015/10/tardisk-pear-sd-card-100624610-large.jpg"><img src="(http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2015/10/tardisk-pear-sd-card-100624610-medium.jpg)" alt="tardisk pear sd card" width="300" height="225"/>[/url] <small class="credit">Roman Loyola</small> <figcaption>
