8Tb of fast video storage
This 8Tb SSD is an excellent buy, especially if you can find it on sale for $599.00 like I did thanks to Best Buy's Black Friday sale. The drive is fast enough for perfect playback of 4K video without dropping frames, and it's large enough to easily handle enough footage for two or three wildlife documentaries.
