What host connection do I need?

Use a USB-C host that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 to approach the listed performance ceiling.

Can I edit from this drive?

Yes, for many proxy, photo, and video projects, provided your system and cable support the required bandwidth.

Which capacity should I choose?

Choose 2TB for larger projects or more retained backups, and 1TB for smaller kits and shuttle workflows.
