Always keep your PROJECTS and EVENTS on the fastest drive you have that IS NOT the same as your OS drive. The OS drive needs to be separate for best performance.

No, media goes into EVENTS. Your timeline is the PROJECT. See this media management section of the user manual.

You personally do not put anything into Event or Project folders, FCP X does that itself. Leave those contents alone.

But, inside of FCP X, assign all Events and Projects to a secondary drive, period.
