Depending on build price, it looks like a new iMac might be in my stocking for Christmas (if I've been good). The question I've got relates to external storage, specifically using USB 3 or thunderbolt for streaming footage
In the past I've build machines with internal drives for editing and dumped to an external disc for storage. It's been a while since I waded into the detail, so are these new I/O formats fast enough to work with if footage lives on an external USB 3 drive?
Basically I don't want to sink lots of money into flash storage if I can avoid it, your expertise would be appreciated.
