This M4 Mac mini 4TB external storage SSD dock system is absolutely awesome for being used as a video editing media drive with DaVinci Resolve and it's quite cheap for what it is.

Now while I have used DaVinci Resolve Studio as the example in this video, this 4TB SSD will also work great with the likes of DaVinci Resolve Free, Final Cut Pro (FCP), Avid, Abode Premier Pro, in fact any video editing software, or NLE, that you use with your M4 Mac mini.

Having 4TB of disk space for your base 256GB M4 Mac Mini is going to give you loads of video and media storage for video projects. And just as I show in this video, the 4TB external SSD storage drive will allow you to edit projects that couldn't possibly fit onto your M4 Mac Mini's internal storage.

While I do a Blackmagic speed test and real world write speed test in this video. The main point of this video is to show you how to build this 4TB dock for your M4 Mac Mini and to also test the M4 Mac Mini with a very processor hungry video edit that was created on an M4 Max MacBook Pro.
