Thanks. These are close but not Thunderbolt 2–just legacy TB 1.
I’ll look at the networking info. Thanks again.

Networking is another option I suppose. Small shop. Three unnetworked machines. Recommendations for simple/easy way to network/share media drives without getting in fibre channel, etc?

Hmm. That looks promising. Thunderbolt 2 in to Belkin. USB 3 out to to Cal Digit USB 3 card in the old Mac Pro.
Thanks.

Great question–would love more intel on that. FWIW, been working on a project with libraries on two raid drives, and that really slows things down. Don’t know if it’s because of multiple drives or multiple libraries.

Nice! Makes perfect sense.

Thanks. Glad you like the OWC drive. FWIW, I don’t edit on the boot drive either–but it’s currently 580 GB of stuff. Have a lot of legacy FCP7 project plus app and other junk. A lot to delete. The issue with moving the old FCP7 projects is that they need to stay on the internal boot drive to be usable. (Although I really haven’t touched them in the 2 years since I moved to FCPX). Thus, the larger Crucial SSD was enticing since I wouldn’t have to clear off 100+GB of stuff on my current internal.
BTW, as I understand, the 2009 towers are only capable of 3G speed. You can use a 6G, just can’t fully maximize it.

Could use a little help/advice as I gingerly update projects and events to 10.1.
A number of my projects use media from events on multiple drives. So let’s say project “Sunshine v2” uses interviews and brill from my LaCie Quadra on two events but also uses broll from 3 events on my older OWC Raid.
Now there are also projects not the LaCie that use media from the the Lacie.
What should my approach be?
I don’t want to copy all of the media from one drive to the next (waste of space) but if I update “”Sunshine v2” FCPX wants me to update the event on the OWC Raid.
A little confusing. Thoughts? Advice? Step by step instructions? Thanks as always.

True. True. Then the thread kind of veered off into a general dump onto Ive and iOS7. It’s all good. Chacun a son gout.
FWIW, since I got an iPhone in 2011, I never use iCloud. I’ve either got everything on my laptop, my desktop or, wonderfully, in my hand on the go via the iPhone. Rare’s the time I could even see wanting to use a browser to log in to iCloud.com. I just see it as a data backup that I never use but nice to have in case.
That said, I just took a look at its iOS-ification. Seems okay. But I just realized one HUGE benefit: the iWork suite is now FREE. Free!
BTW–love your blog and print articles. Keep ’em coming!

I have massive and sincere respect for your post-production expertise. BUT…
Had no problem downloading i07 to my phone around 4pm EST. Have been playing with it a bit. Not earth shattering but at first blush: me likey.
Early days (early hours?) and it seems like a definite improvement. And regardless of the somewhat twee aesthetic, from a functional perspective, it seems better through out. And even seems to run a bit peppier on my 5.
I’ll know if I really like it better in a few days but first impressions are definitely positive. Sorry it’s not working for you.
One thing is undeniable: Apple spent a huge amount of time working on every scintilla of the new iOS. You may not like it but you can appreciate the effort. Plus: IT’S FREE!

Pro Versioner from Digital Rebellion (and all their maintenance apps) are fantastic. Don’t leave home without them.
