Just picked up a 1TB External Drive to use as a FCP Scratch Disk
I'm wondering how I should format this drive?
Should I go with MacOS Journaled or MacOS Extended?
With it being such a big drive I'm considering partitioning 25% of it for ExFat (just as a quick Windows storage device) but I read that partitioning a disk to different formats hurts performance - is this true?
Interested to hearing your thoughts
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
Mac OS Extended. Journaled. Journaling doesn’t matter to speed.
SSD or spinning? What OS? Partition shouldn’t matter. Make the Mac partition first.
Great, any benefit to using Journaled vs just Extended?
Also I wanted to get your input on file management within FCP
I make youtube videos and am wondering if I should I create a brand new library for every new youtube video I'm working on. Or should I create a new Event for every YouTube video I'm working on (and keep all my video projects under the same one library)...
its a spinning hard drive
Not really. No difference in speed.
What format should a FCP Scratch Disk Be?
