My main editing and storage system. Currently housing 4 x Seagate Exos 16TB Enterprise NAS hard drives via USB C 3.1 which has a 10 Gbit connection. Good speed and price.

If you cant get the Mercury Elite Pro Quad, you can get OWC's Thunderbay 4 which is equivalent but has a Thunderbolt 3/4 connection.

Enterprise-grade NAS hard disks. An absolute steal if you're buying Seagate Expansion external hard disks to shuck them. But remember, you'll void the warranty if you shuck them or pay for 5 years warranty. Amazing performance for hard disks, however, they are pretty loud.

THE NEED FOR SPEED!!! Very very fast external NVMe hard drive but also gets very hot and drains a lot of power. I use this as my main editing drive when I'm travelling.

Best value UHS-II SD Cards I've used thus far. Its high speed certified at UHS-II and V60 so happily sits at 125-150MB/s when I transfer videos and images. I've had multiple cards and have been very happy with it. Recommended

Cheap 5 bay NAS that has a decent amount of features. Dual 1 Gbit connection alongside the ability to connect external USB hard drives. Used as my backup alongside a Plex server too. Mounted with Seagate IronWolf NAS hard drives.

One tip if you're buying a RAID or NAS for use. Go with the highest capacity which you can afford at the time. You'll thank yourself later on down the line. $/TB is always worth it in the long run.

My secondary travel editing storage, significantly cheaper than the X5, super light and well built too. Decently fast at around 550MB/s.

This is the best value SD card reader I've come across and very cheap too. My previous reader was only going at 30MB/s which makes huge file transfers very painful. Some of my current transfers were happily sitting on 125-150MB/s so a huge reduction in waiting time!
