I'm setting up an iMac that has two drives - a 2TB internal and a 2TB external (firewire 800).
I am assuming that the Mac version has the same folder control that the PC version had.
In addition to creating a new folder for each project, for optimal performance are there any practices you recommend, and where do you recommend I locate the folders that are mentioned in the Preferences? ( the OS and the application will be on the internal drive )
For example I'm thinking about using the external as my archive for all my captured video and completed projects, and when I create a project folder I will move any audio files I'm using and the captured video I need from the external into the project folder. I can also use the external for Disc Encoding if having that on a slower connection (slower than the internal drive) makes sense to reduce drive contention.
So in short, on my two drive config what do you recommend for the file locations that can be specified in Preferences:
Media Cache Database
Captured Video
Captured Audio
Video Previews
Audio Previews
Media Cache
Disk Encoding
Thanks!
