As Dave said, the internal drive will be fastest. What you don't
want to do is *record* to the external hard drive, especially if
it's a USB drive, which can have significant problems transferring
(or even writing) fast enough). So set your Audacity temporary
directory to the hard drive (at Audacity > Preferences: Directories
tab). Or if you save an Audacity project before recording, save that
project to your hard drive.
