Greetings from sunny California. Hi I found your reviews here and helpful information. What is a good workflow for storing FCPX video? I have a 2011 MB Pro i7 quad core (USB 2.0 ver) but importing my raw HD video started to fill my HD quickly so I am using an external G-Tech FW800 drive to store video files within saved FCPX Events.
Are you saying that USB 3.0 only speeds up the transfer of files during import but no speed increase in editing or exporting movie files? FW800 seems to work fine without any latency or bottlenecks so I am debating whether to spend money on a Thunderbolt drive since I can't use USB 3.0. thanks!
