I have two harddrives for my lappy. Internal and External. Internal is 4200 RPM, External is 7200 RPM. Which should I use for which function?

What is the connection to the external drive?
Search the net for a tiny little shell app called dskbench, and run it on both drives.

Thanks, Gidge
So, Here's what I did.
Kept my app on my internal drive and directed my wave files to my external drive.
This is how I'm recording:
Output is being done via my US-224. Input is being done via my VXPocket v2. I record in digital I/O mode, and I've mostly been TRYING to render my midi files to wave files using N-Track and VSampler.
2 issues:
1. I ran dskbench, per Slack's instruction. I get a 20 ms (or thereabouts) flush. It should be zero, shouldn't it? How do I make it so?
2. I've tweaked my laptop to hell and back while it's in WIN2K mode. It's in standard PC mode with all unnecessary services turned off, networking and modem services disabled, and the USB port only sharing an IRQ with my PCMCIA CardBus controller (is that such a bad thing).
Yet, no matter WHAT I do, a the playback starts popping on my midi files (actually, midi file played through the soundfonts loaded into my Vsampler program) every 10 seconds, starting 20 seconds into the song, and I CAN"T GET RID OF IT!!!! And it starts popping every 10 seconds no matter WHERE I start the song, starting 20 seconds after I start playing the song ANYWHERE in the song.
Playback buffers are not helping. No matter how hi or low I go, I still get that pop.
I dunno if it's the soundfonts being used, or the VSampler file or the midi file, but when I have the drivers both soundcards in MME mode, that's what happens.
The pop doesn't show up in ASIO mode, but then I can only use one soundcard and I also start to get lag in MIDI playback. Which is why I've stuck with MME when rendering my midi files to wave files.
I've already tried Virtual Audio Cable. Let's just say, the lag performance on that in terms of my midi rendering is the worst!
Can someone help me with this? PLEASE? It's driving me NUTS!!!

Only listen to your songs 19 secondes before they end; it won't pop anymore
