So you have your internal drive as a secondary.
It looks like something is keeping your old internal drive as a possible FCPX Event/Project drive.
I would have to say that its probably due to it being an old system drive.
Do you need to keep the OS on that drive?
I honestly cant predict what will happen.
----------
As you can see, your older Macintosh HD is not showing up as a valid FCPX drive due to this situation.
Its not that it doesnt see the Final Cut Events/Projects, it just doesnt see the drive.
Is that internal HFS+?
BTW what is the speed of both drives?
What is the SSD drive on?
FW, TB, ?
I would keep FCP stuff on the fastest drive.
That would be an external FW/TB drive for me.
Yes its HFS+. I don't really need to keep the OS in that drive, even tought it would be nice in case of the SSD will failure. For now the SSD its on FW800 just becasue Im waiting for the thuderbolt cable, than I will use the goflex adapter.
I have a vertex 4 256mb, so do you suggest to keep the OS on the internal drive and work on the project onto the external drive?
I was thinking to do the opposite, to increase the OS and loading app performance even If I have 32gb of RAM. What do you suggest?
I work on 1080p footage, so probabily I would be able to work at a project at time on the 256GB.
I also need to costant backup my project, what do you suggest? Time machine set to the external FW800 drive?
At the end I have a goflex thunderbolt with vertex 4 256mb - an external fw800 dock, the internal drive. My main goal is to work as fastest with finalcut and backup my projects, since I am a professional videographer.
Thank you.
