External SSD to edit off of

I currently edit off of a Glyph SSD (950/transfer rate) but it is full (https://www.glyphtech.com/product/atom-raid-external-solid-state-drive)! I am traveling a need a solution I can pickup today. What SSD's do you use to edit with?

No, I meant buy it online. I don’t think I’ve ever bought a drive any other way.

True, these drives are not Thunderbolt.

As I said before, I get 950MBps, approximately, which is about the most we could expect with USB-C (not Thunderbolt 3).

That is still very fast, faster than any RAID composed of rotating hard drives, and plenty fast enough for video editing.


At some point, the human becomes the bottleneck. With current day MBP and fast drives and GPU, we are the bottleneck 😁
