Re: New Apple Studio Machines-Which one for LR/Photoshop with Sony A7RV?
Where you can save some money is on the Hard Drives. I only went to 1 TB which I think is maybe the best solution for a internal and reason why is I built a T5 external drive that's delivering over 5600 reads and writes which is almost as fast but I only paid around 500 dollars for a 4tb drive not what Apple wants which is scary at 1200 bucks . The rest of my externals are TB 4 which run about 3700 reads and writes which is still fast as hell. I have 3 of those that I made.
Ram I think is still tricky to some degree I did not go under 48 and I think that's safe for us Photographers. I almost went 64 but wanted to save some cash . My M2 Studio was 96 which I knew was way to much that I needed. So in a sense that was a waste . Most of you are not working Pros which I am so that need is someone limited as you can wait those extra minutes. I can't as I usually have clients sitting in front of me while I process sometimes. Looking slow is not a good thing.
