# Best SSD for DaVinci Resolve 21.1: NVMe, Cache and Media Storage

> For a new Resolve 21.1 workstation, use a 1-2TB system SSD plus a separate 2TB or 4TB high-end NVMe for active projects and cache. Move to 8TB when large RAW working sets justify the cost. External SSDs are useful for portable projects, while fast NAS storage makes more sense for shared or very large media libraries.
