I do wish I had an SSD hard drive for speed, but I do fine with my RAID 5 Thunderbay with spinning hard drives. It is big enough and has been mostly fast enough, though 6K does push it.
Talking about not only on remote editing because of the pandemic but the new technologies and cutting together films before VFX is added with blue screen vs the volume, and being able to go to the set and talk to the director while the work on stuff, having cut the previz before production happened.
About propably the last time anything will every be edited on a Steinbeck, which I have never done, though I was probably the last class to edit on Moviolas at USC.
And it was honestly hell. Not the process and the decisions and physical cutting, but the machines, which would stick on, and destroy the negative, and had to be dived behind and unplugged. I was editing with Takashi Horie in college and I believe we even took naps behind the very loud machine.
