You go into preferences and change your 'capture scratch' folder. This is a global setting and will put all projects in the same folder unless you tell it otherwise at the beginning of each project. Depending on how you like to manage your projects and related media, this may or may not be important to you.
Some like to change their capture folder for each project so that it ends up in the same folder with the project's other assets. This allows copying one project folder to say, and external drive, for moving the work between two different systems. -gb- |

The location of the cache & thumbnails is not critical; for organization, I keep them on the main drive, along with the autosaves, etc.. They don't take up much space. Also, if you delete them, Final Cut will recreate them, as needed.
After reconnecting the camera, try restarting FCP.
