This 'Bus-powered' configuration is dependant upon which port each drive is connected to, as well as any additional accessories which may be drawing power (such as a CFast 2.0 Memory card or external keyboard, etc.) > [!Checklist]- Storage Drives & Folder Structure > - With both LaCie Rugged Shuttles connected, ShotPutPro is already configured to offload identical copies of a selected media card to the *1-Media Pool* folder on each each drive, simultaneously. This presents substantial time-savings, over simple Finder copies. > - Keeping a Finder Window open for each source and destination folder is helpful, so as to monitor the results of ShotPut's operations. If problems arise, they will be easier to spot on the fly. > > ![[macOS Finder - Source and Destination Windows.png]] > > > > [!Tip] Consistent Folder Structure > > - As a reference template from the previous block of shooting in 2022, the complete folder structure with Offload Reports is available on *RW - LaCie-B - RAIDO-8TB*. > > - Consistent Folder Structure after several days of shooting is identical on both drives, and looks like this . . . > > > > ![[macOS Finder - Media Pool Folder Structure.png]] ![[SPP6 - ShotPutPro 6]]
