Re: [Avid-L2] Partitioning drives for different MC projects

We use that exact practice.

Since our shared storage is Raid-5, and there's always the attic, AND we rarely actually have two people working on the same job at the same time, we also put the projects on the media drive. That's probably not in the 'Avid best practice' book, but it works for our way of working. We used to archive only finished work, but we now simply archive the entire drive - has served us well in those frequent 'you remember that project we did 5 years ago?' situations.
