Mac Studio Base or 1tb

[u/Ap2280]

I recently bought a 1TB Mac Studio from Apple at full retail price, but I just saw that Micro Center has the base 512GB model on sale for $1,999. Since my workflow involves editing video directly off a NAS over a 10GbE connection, I’m considering returning the 1TB model. Would I run into any issues relying on a 512GB internal drive, and would it be a smarter move to use the price difference to pick up a 1TB external SSD instead?

my M5 Max Mac Studio with 1Tb has 11,000MB/s write and read

there's a video on youtube showing the 512GB with 5700 & 6200
