It’s important to get your kit to the shoot in one piece, so you need a protective bag or even different bags for different uses.

External hard drives – both portable and desktop – include the Samsung Portable SSD T9 4TB, which is fast and sophisticated, as are the Lacie Rugged Mini SSD Pro and Sandisk Professional Pro-Blade Transport 2TB.
