update
I have not had anymore lag problems since I copied my library to another drive and started working off it.
That’s the only thing I did different and not one beach ball since (I also turned off that App nap).
Still not sure why the one project could not play from there but I have to conclude that particular problem was with my equipment and not with the 10.1 update.
Well, I started a post going off so I wanted to update you guys.
Thanks for the help everyone offered.

Thanks for the update, Tony.
What kind of a drive was it?
-
It’s a G-Tech drive.
Using the FW-800
I have had it for maybe a year and half I think.

Are you using an Apple Thunderbolt adapter?
-
Have you upgraded to 10.1.1 yet?

No, not yet

Why? Does the Tbolt to FW adapter cause any known issues?

I find the Apple adapter to be a little slow.
I have a Belkin TBolt dock coming and I am going to compare the speed of that fw800 vs the Apple fw800.
Although, for mobile work, usb3 is probably going to become more normal for me.
I was doing transfers at 133 MB/sec the other day and USB3 seems to be rather ubiquitous.

Thanks, Jeremy. And this discussion is not even OT, as using FCPX inevitably pushes you to modern Macs with Thunderbolt, even though you may have a dozen FW drives on the shelf, full of footage!
Re: USB 3, I was told the one downside was the fact that it’s not full duplex, so while great for a read OR write, less than perfect for constant read/write that happens during editing.
This is something I don’t entirely understand. If you have projects, events AND media on same external, maybe an issue. But if your external is simply for original/optimized media, isn’t that read-only? Does location of your render files completely alter the equation, since they are being written while simultaneously reading original media?
I am assuming a single FCPX user, external drive with media. Where do you keep projects/events library, relative to original or optimized media?
