Editing is one thing. Storage is another. If your current editing needs are met, consider a NAS. There are some very nice large ones that are raid. Plop it in a wired gigabit network, and you'd have a pretty decent storage option. Here's an example.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822165596

I'm getting ready to build a computer designed for picture and media storage and editing. Anyone done so I'd like to see some specs?I know I want m.2 for the OS for nearly instant on, and stacked HDD's in a raid 1 (I've lost picts before and still hear about it all the time) I'll post some specs from newegg here later, I lost my shopping cart

It's cheap insurance. With the RAID in the desktop, I would have a separate drive for the OS and use the RAID array just for storage. Once you get the desktop set up, you can image the OS drive and store it on the RAID array for easy OS drive failure restoration. The only files I have lost since about 1994 have been about 6 months of emails due to a laptop drive failure.I don't have any specific hardware recommendations, as I am still running a seven year old build and haven't looked into hardware specs in ages.
just found out I don't have unlimited internet and hit a soft cap throttle NETFLIX!
