This is how I do it:
Computer 1Firstly, create a folder on the drive for the project.
Inside this folder I create 2 new folders,
database and
Assets.
All the media goes in Assets.
Next, from the
Project Manager window I click the
New Database button, give it a name and then browse to the database folder created earlier.
Click
Select Folder and then click
CreateThen create a project in this new database. If you already have the project in another database you'll need to export a DRP from that and then import it into this new database.

I use this process regularly with removable dives connected via SATA, but have done it a couple of times with USB3 SSD drives. My projects are typically UHD MP4 sources in HD timelines.
