consolidation of fcp projects onto new drive all information given in body of thread
I bought this drive because it is the easiest ways to get some vital plug ins and files and footage from a previous project. i would like to update what i have in my g4 and i got lazy and never put them into my g5 to finish my project. Mind you this is going to be put out on you-tube https://www.woot.com/Forums/ViewPost.aspx?PostID=4178968. so this is the drive in the link earlier and now here are where the questions start is there a program to extract files without redundancy or to organize files coming in and should i mirror the drive or keep it at 4tb . in the future i plan to consolidate onto a much larger system this is just to get work out for right now. i use right now final cut studio 2 on a power-mac dual 2.3 liquid which i will upgrade at the end of this project to Intel and the new final cut studio. any ideas when this is all said and done it will be put on my you-tube channel @tedbrownmedia https://www.tedbrownmedia.com. also i have never used the fire wire 800 feature before will it work in fcp 5 and if so is there a speed diff?

That was all a little convoluted, but yes, FireWire 800 will work and it should be fine, I have used it for the past few years as a media “server” of sorts, although I’ve also magically raided it with another drive to male sure I don’t lose anything, because I believe external hard dives are statistically less reliable than sata drives.
