Fast Question?

I been told to keep all media, events and projects on my fast pegasus thunderbolt drive...but should I put the media in the event or project folder....or just anywhere on the drive??? Thank you...

Depends, you can do either. I'd keep your original media on the T'bolt drive if you don't copy them to the Event folder when you import. FCP is going to read from the originals no matter where they are. If they're not inside the Event folder, it will read from where ever they are.

If you copy the files into the Event folder, Optimize, or create Proxies, then those originals can go anywhere, FCP won't be reading from them, it'll be reading from the Event folder.

All that said, no matter how you handle it, be sure you have another drive to backup everything in case a drive fails (yes, SSDs can fail, too).

Personally I copy my originals into my Events folders, then I know where they are and can find them quickly and easily later on. Actually, if I Optimize something, I don't see the need to keep the originals. As long as you're backing up your Event and Project folders.
