Default Re: Apple Studio/Mini - What bits we need

Ok so naturally I'll start. I've ordered the Studio with the M1 Max 10 Core, 64BG RAM, 1TB SSD.

As you can see from my signature I'm moving from a 5,1 with a maxed out PCIe machine. For work, I mix TV for all the streamers, networks here in Australia and also ESPN on ABC America. I also have a full music studio with drum machines & racks of hardware normaled through multiple patchbays to a Midas F32. Tracking and Mixing in Tools obvs

I need for Mixing TV;
  1. PCIe Enclosure for Video Hardware and M.2/NVME drive/s - Thinking the Sonnet Echo IIId or the Magma ExpressBox 3T-V3
  2. Enclosure for my 3.5" & 2.5" HDD's - Thinking the OWC Thunderbay 4
  3. 2x TB3 to HDMI adapters (I run 3 monitor plus the Video hardware monitor)
  4. Pretty sure I DON'T need a dock as the Apple Studio has plenty of options.

I need for music multi tracking:
  1. 32 I & O. Thinking the Presonus Quantum 4848
  2. More DB25 to TRS - Thinking - Planet Waves Modular Snake TRS Breakout
  3. Apple's new 3m TB3 cable or the Corning cables (optical cables)
  4. Another Patchbay - Which I've bought already.
  5. 2 more 16 by 16 looms - Which I've bought already

This music stuff can wait. I need the mixing stuff first.

So what do you all think? Discuss.
