Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the reply. I normally have all my media on an external drive but keep the media cache locally. I tried to use an external for that once but it was a disaster & eventually corrupted the drive.
For this project, it does seem like having the cache on an external is a better option. Perhaps this time a better brand of drive (e.g. Lacie/Seagate) is what I need? Or perhaps Thunderbolt instead of USB 2.0? I’m open to suggestions…
Thanks, Kieran
