Browse Workflow GuidesFrequently Asked Questions
Do I need external storage for Mac Studio?
Many Mac Studio users choose external storage because it keeps active projects, scratch files and archives separate from the internal SSD. It also makes it easier to expand storage over time.
Is external Thunderbolt storage suitable for video editing?
Yes. High-performance Thunderbolt SSDs are well suited to demanding creative workflows, including 4K, 6K, 8K and ProRes projects, depending on the drive and workflow requirements.
Should I use RAID or a single external SSD?
A single fast SSD is ideal for active projects and portability. RAID or desktop storage is better for larger media libraries, backups, archives and multi-drive workflows.
Do I need 10Gb Ethernet with Mac Studio?
Not everyone needs it, but 10Gb Ethernet is useful if you work with NAS storage, shared studio storage or large files across a local network.
Can FlexxMemory help me choose the right Mac Studio setup?
Yes. Contact us with your Mac Studio model and workflow, and we can recommend suitable storage, docks and accessories.
