If your video editing task can get by with even the 4TB maximum build-to-order option, then you're not in the target market.

I don't buy it. Lots of "professionals" edit hour long 4K video that would easily fit in under a TB. Then they archive that work.

Even if this is not the case, applications alone are getting larger all the time. 256G is ridiculous as a base config.
