While standard users can manage with 128GB or 256GB, professional content creators, particularly those shooting high-resolution video like ProRes RAW or large RAW photo files, may find 1TB or 2TB justifiable. Gamers with extensive libraries and individuals who prefer offline media storage also benefit from larger capacities, avoiding the need for constant file management or reliance on cloud services. AI
