Archiving and unfinished raw content are among the most common storage problems content creators encounter when working on a Mac. Final Cut Pro Libraries can grow rapidly and out of control. Content creators often turn to USB external drives to store material for Final Cut Pro. When using a Mac, especially portable Macs like the MacBook Pro, external drives are often connected and disconnected, which can lead to wear and tear of the port. External drives are also inconvenient as the files cannot be conveniently shared with coworkers or collaborators and external drives are susceptible to damage in ways a NAS is not. A NAS remains stationary while digitally making your files available to you while an external drive is portable, increasing the risk of drops, spills or other types of damage.
