In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the storage options for the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros. The baseline storage for these machines is 512 gigabytes, which may not be enough for creators and users requiring more space. However, the speaker suggests sticking with the 512 gigabyte option due to the cost of upgrading to higher storage tiers. The speaker also introduces the idea of using external hard drives as a cost-effective and efficient solution for additional storage needs. They showcase three different two terabyte external hard drives, emphasizing their affordability and suitability for backing up standard documents and files.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses testing various hard drives for video editing tasks. They start with a budget-friendly USB 3 drive, move on to a faster Sandisk solid-state drive with thunderbolt compatibility, and finally introduce the high-speed Sambran Rocket drive which offers thunderbolt compatibility and works with newer MacBooks. The presenter plans to compare video export speeds using Final Cut Pro on all three drives by exporting the same video project to test their performance differences.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses testing different storage drives for speed performance using Final Cut Pro. They export a 4.24 GB file to various drives, including Seagate, SanDisk, and MacBook Pro’s internal drive. The results show that SSDs perform similarly, with differences within seven seconds. The video also includes speed tests on the internal MacBook Pro drive showing impressive read and write speeds, as well as tests on the Seagate and SanDisk drives, with the SanDisk drive being faster. The speaker emphasizes that even traditional SSDs perform well, with minimal speed differences compared to high-end SSDs.
00:09:00
In this part of the video, the speaker tests different hard drives using a thunderbolt connection. They start with an extreme SSD, noting a read speed of 900 megabits and a write speed around 740-750. They then test a Cyber Rocket drive, achieving read speeds of 1800-2700. The conclusion is that the Cyber Rocket drive is the fastest, the Seagate drive being the slowest, and the Sandisk drive offering a good balance of performance and cost, particularly for Final Cut Pro exports. The recommendation is to consider the Sandisk drive for backups and general use, based on the speaker’s personal opinion.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the installation of apps like Final Cut Pro, Lightroom, and Photoshop on their main MacBook Pro, rather than storing data on that machine. They highlight the availability of iCloud, OneDrive, and Dropbox as alternative storage options. The speaker recommends the Seagate drive for backups and data storage, especially for creators using a machine with an M1 Pro chip. They emphasize that the Seagate drive is worth it over faster options for tasks like rendering, exporting, video editing, and photo editing.
