This is also a good point, more MPX means everything else in the chain needs upgrading too.
I ended up having to update my 2012 Mac Mini with a 2018 version as it just couldn't keep up with the Z6 files (especially video ones) and ended up adding a Drobo with 16TB of storage and another couple of TB of SSD storage just to give myself a chance. Not to mention an external Vega 64 graphics card...
It's crazy how much processing power some of these files need.
Don't quite understand the power issue that Robert and yourself experience? I am working with D850 raw files on an IPad Pro. I don't upload all my files direct to the iPad but load them (very quickly) from a QXD card onto a WiFi external drive. From there I can browse the uploaded files, deleting as I go, and only bring the files I want to work on, onto the iPad. Certainly if I tried to upload all the files to the iPad it will falter, and I have yet to attempt some of the stacked files that Robert can generate or do any length videoing with the D850. So maybe I am running just ahead of a 'power shortfall tsunami'.
