You will read, write, and delete a lot of data on the hard drive.

Therefore, I recommend you use an endurable SSD.

If you dont care about the price, this Samsung 970 PRO SSD is a good choice.

WD Black SN750 NVMe SSD

The super-fast speed can give you a great video editing experience and the long lifespan offers you reliability.

MLC and TLC are two types of flash memory.

But as for MLC vs TLC, what are the differences and which one is better?

Samsung 860 PRO

This post provides answers to you.

WD Black SN750 NVMe SSD (Budget M.2 SSD for Video Editing)

Most MLC SSDs are very expensive.

If you think you cant afford that price, you could choose a TLC SSD.

Crucial MX500

Nowadays, TLC technology has been mature and TLC SSDs have been used in gaming.

In the face of low prices, all the shortcomings can be accepted.

In addition, the speed of this SSD is also enough for video editing.

Samsung X5

This one is the best M.2 SSD for video editing in terms of price.

If your machine doesnt have M.2 ports, you may need to purchase a SATA SSD.

Then, Samsung 860 PRO is the best SSD for video editing.

SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD V2

The reason why I recommend this SSD is that it uses MLC technology and its manufacturer is Samsung.

Nowadays, most manufacturers have switched to producing TLC or QLC SSDs.

It becomes harder for consumers to purchase a reliable MLC SSD.

In addition, I find a cheap external SSD indeed (Crucial X6 portable SSD).

This SSD read speed is up to 540MB/s and the price is low enough.

But I cant ensure its a TLC SSD.
