    256GB/512GB?

    I mainly use my MacBook Pro atm for editing with an external drive, would you say that a 256GB with a 2TB external drive would suffice for my editing needs on a 27-inch iMac 5k retina? Or would you say that playing it safe and spending more money on the 512GB would be worth it??
