The idea is that you must be in one of the industry hubs like Los Angeles, New York or Chicago to make it work.

We've got some tips to get you going. These are things that we've gleaned after interviewing lots of people who are making it.

When it comes to digital content creation, storage is king. With the typical 10-minute video uploaded to social media averaging about 4GB of video, content creators' needs for high-capacity, reliable storage solutions are higher than they have ever been. However, Western Digital's latest 6TB capacity*, 2.5-inch portable HDDs, the SanDisk® Professional G-DRIVE® ArmorATD™, WD_BLACK™ P10 Game Drive and WD® My Passport Ultra™ look to offer videographers and creators numerous options to choose from to fit their storage needs.
Western Digital positions the SanDisk Professional G-DRIVE ArmorATD, WD_BLACK P10 Game Drive and WD My Passport Ultra as applicable to numerous use cases. Let's go over what each solution looks to offer video shooters.
On-location reliability
Those who are constantly on the go or often find themselves shooting on location need a dependable, durable storage solution. A strong build material will help protect your files from accidental drops, as well as help keep your HDD's internal components in pristine condition. Western Digital has built the SanDisk Professional G-DRIVE ArmorATD with an aluminum enclosure and internal shock mounts. Together, these components should provide you with extensive shock and crush resistance. Plus, Western Digital designed the G-DRIVE ArmorATD with an IP54 rain/dust rating.1 All these features are essential for a durable storage HDD.
Another component you must consider when choosing a reliable HDD is its storage space and transfer rates. The SanDisk Professional G-DRIVE ArmorATD delivers up to 130 MB/s read speeds** and up to 6TB* of storage space. With this read speed and storage space, you are able to back up your footage, no matter if you're on location or not.
Gaming storage for content creators
Gaming content creators not only need enough storage to save their gaming sessions, they also need enough storage space to keep up with their constantly expanding game library. With up to 6TB* of storage space, Western Digital positions the WD_BLACK P10 Game Drive as a go-to solution for gaming content creators. In total, the WD_BLACK P10 Game Drive can save up to 150 games.2 Most gaming creators will shift between games, trying new ones and sometimes returning to old favorites. Being able to have these games in their library helps cut down download times and thus speeds up their production workflow. And, with extra storage space, they can help ensure their PCs still run at optimal speeds and performance levels.
