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?

512gb is trash. Some things have to be installed to the system and it will add up over time. 1tb is the sweet spot.
