fcp7 on MacPro / Best solutions?
After spending hours on google to find the best solutions for my new setup of fcp7 I decided to ask some experts 🙂
I have a macpro 3,1 with 32 GB Ram, Radeon HD 5870 and System on PCI Express Card with 2 SSD Raid. I also have my old PCI Card with one SSD in Port 4 (only PCI 1.1)
At the Sata2 Ports internal I have 3 HDD Drives and one SSD.
My Questions are now:
For optimum Setup how do I spread out OS System (OSX Mountain Lion) / Scratch Disk and Media over my SSDs and HDDs . At the moment I have System, fcp7 and scratch disk on my SSD Raid (by far the fastest drive) Media on a SATA HDD. I store my fcp projectfile on a different HDD.
Would it be better to have OSX a little bit slower on the SATA SSD and have Media and scratchdisk on the SSD Raid?
second question would be: How do i transfer the scratchdisk from one harddrive to another.
