After watching numerous reviews it appears the mid range Mac Studio, with 32Gb ram, and 1 to 2 TB of internal storage is the sweet spot for cost vs performance.

Larry is the man as far as video editing is concerned.

And no need to buy the best either… lots of video on youtube before you decide which version is the best for you. The modest one with 32GB ram and 1or 2 Tb of storage would be fine for most people. Then all need is external SSD storage.

[Robert Jackson]

Look at the New MAC Studio released this week.

[Robert Jackson]

2 Tb internal SSD would be great, but you will still need an external SSD.

[Robert Jackson]

Agree with Tod.

media files should always be on an external HHD, or better yet SSD.

[Robert Jackson]

Remember you must place all of your media on an external HHD, or SSD… This is important.

[Robert Jackson]

Golden rule….Media files should always be put on a fast External SSD, or Fast HHD.
