"Ever try multiple drives, as one for capture one for audio, one for render and one for project backup?"

Always.

"What you lost pertains to where you told it to save... I know exactly where I save everything and so does the software. "

If that were true, there'd be no need to reconnect, would there? Again, this doesn't hold up to rudimentary scrutiny. And the ridiculous strawman about "it's great because it was used to cut Hollywood movies" is just embarrassing at this point. For how many years did Apple crow about Cold Mountain being cut on FCP? You can cut a movie with a flipbook on 3 x 5 cards. It proves nothing.
