render files on different drive?
Hi all
Any benefit to having render files on a different drive than the capture scratch? I’m using RAID 0, and have plenty of bandwidth. Quad G5.

No. Keep your render files on your Capture Scratch. FCP assigns them there by default for a reason.

Shane:
I had this discussion with an associate who claimed that renders on a separate scratch disc save seek time and prolong drive life. I disagreed, saying that in any project you may have captured media files that are physically far apart on a drive. To FCP it’s all media that is non-contiguous and must be randomly accessed. I’ll direct him to this thread.Lee
