How to run my System?
Ok, I just purchased FCS2 and shall have it before the end of the week (up until now I have been using FCE 4). I have also ordered two G-Tech hard drives (one D-DRIVE and one G-RAID) because my MacBook Pro is brimming with stuff and I've all but used up my internal 232GB drive.
I want to lump all of my (lets call them domestic) files onto my G-Drive (1tb) and all of my video (my work) onto my G-Raid (2tb). Now initially this throws up the following questions:
What is the best way to Run my system? Most likely I will still be using FCE 4 whilst using FCS2 because I do love it. But how do I shift all my files without messing up my projects I've created in FCE 4? At the moment all my FCE 4 documents are saved in "my documents" on my computer. Is it best to re-locate this folders to the G-Raid as I assume this is where all the raw video is placed once captured? Also when saving a project in FCE 4 or FCS2 should I save it to my desktop (like I always do) or the G-Raid drive along with the FCS2/FCE4 documents.
There is also the question of Time Machine. I've never used it as these are the first external hard drives I've used. I don't really want it set up on my work hard drive but it might be ok on the G-Drive? However the initial plan was to lump everything onto the G-Drive as to clear some space so my system works faster.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
