What page of the manual are you talking about, are you reading about Motion Templates?
Here is how I set things up:
-System Drive – Has Motion installed on it. I only have applications on this drive.
-Drive 1 – Project files, art work, music etc.
-Drive 2 (X-serve Raid) – Video and Audio Files.
I’ve never had any problems with the video files or projects files. This is a great set up. Hope this helps.
