However most of my data is on an external Pegasus R4 Thunderbolt RAID array. I have a 3TB FD on my 2013 iMac 27, and it works well for editing videos and stills. You can move it back and forth to a slower external drive, but this has its own complications.

Over the several-year life of your new iMac, if you'll *ever* shoot raw DSLR stills, this takes a huge amount of space. ![]() I have single FCP X libraries that are over 1TB.
