HFS+Journaling?
I just got a new Macbook Pro, and I'm wondering if I should use journaling with the eSATA drive. I understand journaling is "more secure" but wonder if there aren't any "gotchas" when editing video.

From what I've read format your media drives with Journaling off.

Doesn't make a huge difference these days to be honest. That article was written by the great Larry Jordan but it's 5 years old now and doesn't seem to hold true as much anymore. He might of course update and say otherwise if he happens to read this post, I typically format journaled, the performance is about the same.

Hey Michael,
It's been discussed a lot in the past here: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/non-linea...planation.html http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/non-linea...nal-drive.html http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/non-linea...ormatting.html http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/non-linea...ed-frames.html http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/non-linea...ing-video.html You know, I tend to agree with Noah these days. I just did a project which used a bunch of external drives and formatted them all with journaling on. No problems so far (using a 3.0gzh iMac and 2.4ghz MBP). |

journaling can be turned on and off with out formatting BTW.
in disk utility, select the volume and enable / disable. my vote is off if you are pushing the drives, as FCP has enough problems |

yep, if you are regularly pushing / maxing your drive's write capabilities then you might eke just that tiny bit extra performance that one day you need
