Q: Formatting a Thunderbolt drive
I'm trying to set up a Lacie Thunderbolt drive as my recording drive from a Macbook Pro. At present the 4TB drive is configured as Raid 0, Extended Journaled. But I see Apple advising that a recording drive should be Unjournaled. Yet when I try to select 'Unjournaled' from the file menu for this drive in Disk Utility, that option is greyed out.
Any views on where I should go?

Yes, don't format as unjournaled. In case of a crash it protects your hard drive and today it doesn't make a difference in performance anyway.
