You can use pretty much any external drive or even a Mac's internal hard drive. There is no benefit either way, except if you want to then edit the footage on a computer, downloading it directly to the Mac saves you one step.
Otherwise, any good quality SSD, with decent read and write speed can work to edit directly from.
