Upgrade your edits with our effects: videoloadout.com
Choosing a hard drive for video editing can be confusing. I share my process how I upgraded my editing storage setup with an option that is cheaper than a nas system from syncology, more storage than a lacie drive, and more permanent than several external samsung ssd drives: the Western Digital My Book Duo has speeds fast enough to edit in Premiere Pro, 8-40TB of storage, is affordable per TB compared to an SSD, and is a good fit for freelance video editor all around.

If you want to edit as fast as possible on premiere pro, you need to stop bottlenecking your editing system with slow drives. Consider focusing on making your editing life easier by upgrading your storage system. Whether you edit music videos, commercials, or content this is well worth it.
