Then, a couple of weeks ago, I was talking to someone who told me I should always Journal the drives.
Thankfully, Ken Stone's Final Cut Pro web site has an article "Formatting a Hard Drive for the Mac" and he lays down the law:
Journaling is essential for OS disks (boot drives), but for disks used for video media, used for editing purposes, Journaling is not advised, as it can affect the speed of data being written. For video media (scratch) drives you would want to select the Mac OS Extended, no journaling.If you're not up on all the ins and outs of formatting and Journaling, definitely read the article for the Caveat emptor's.
