Finding info about your mac, its hard disk space, RAM info etc. is not pretty hard to find but still confusing for first time users who just keep wondering on where to go to find everything related to the Hard disk in their macbook. Here is a tutorial on 'How to Find Macbook Hard Disk Size?'
Here is a tutorial on 'How to Find Macbook Hard Disk Size?' There are a couple options for this. One is the easy one to find how much free space is available in the hard disk in your macbook. You can see that when you open your Hard Drive folder from the desktop, it would be seen in the status bar in the bottom. Since writing this, I just came across ANOTHER 2012 13' macbook pro, with a bard hard drive cable. The computer powered on just fine but wouldn't boot. Booted off any external source no problem. Put it's hard drive in a case, it worked just fine. But booted off an external volume, the machine couldn't see it's hard drive at all.
- MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2012 - 2015) MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015–2017) iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2019 and later).
- Select your drive in the upper left and look at the bottom of the app window to learn the size of your drive and how much space you have available. If you have a 500 GB hard drive and you're only using 180 GB, you can likely get away with a 250 GB SSD.
- With this in mind, Apple currently offers the 13-inch M1 model with 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB, while the four-port Intel model comes with 512GB, 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB. The 16-inch MacBook Pro models comes with 512GB, 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, or 8TB. I don't believe 256GB is nearly enough for most users and that the minimal amount of storage should be avoided.
