Hi emwhy,
have you thought about a hard drive caddy?
The balanced option can (not must) cause problems .

No confusion at my end, the results are very real, I only need to use my own eyes... Cheers...

Alex,
 
The confusion I'm referring to is not so much about getting the "results", but rather the best way to accomplish it.
 
I was puzzled why "disabling core parking" hadn't been discussed much recently.  The answer seems to be (from replies in this thread) that a common Win 7 DAW tweak automatically takes care of it for you -- without any of the registry tweaks or outside tools that may or may not work.

My "results" are that I don't get click and pops, whereas before I would. Yes there is a Win7 registry tweak that does something similar on a per operating system basis. It's all fairly straightforward if you test it yourself... Cheers...

Please take a breath and read the previous posts before commenting.  You seem to be taking my posts the wrong way.  I'm not questioning your position -- and yes, I have googled the topic.  If you read the provided link and what others here are saying (Pragi, for instance), you'd see that the registry tweaks/tools have historically not always worked for everyone.  Hence, the confusion.
 
Pragi seems to have hit on the right answer (IMO, based on what I experienced).
