Whichever drive the Windows swap file is on is where AP's scratch (temp)
disk(s) should NOT be.
That's physical drives, not partitions. If your PC has one drive with two or
more partitions, it won't do you any good to use one of the other partitions as
a scratch disk for AP because a single set of heads must service all the
partitions.
You want a completely separate hard drive. USB 2.0 externals aren't suitable
for AP scratch disks. You want eSata or firewire, preferably FW800. Or you can
get on the bleeding edge and go for USB 3.0.
Ideally you want one drive for your OS and programs. Some people split it in
two partitions so they can keep data separate from the OS so they won;t have to
find someplace to copy it when they need to reinstall the OS.
A second drive for AP's scratch disk and a third for the source files. The
exported video files can be saved to the OS drive or preferably a second
partition on the OS drive.
Servicing read/write to the swap file and writes to the exported video files on
the same drive is within the capabilities of current hard drives and computer
hardware. With a 64bit OS, plenty of RAM and running nothing major but AP,
there will be very little swap file activity.
Of course you could have a 4th drive just for the exported files.
But for short projects on a decently fast system with enough RAM, a single
drive *should* be usable, though not ideal.
For only two drives, put the source and scratch on the second drive and save
the export to the OS drive.
