Have a look at this FAQ-page: http://www.usb.org/faq/ans2

As you will have gathered from the first link, transfer via a USB 1 inter-
face would be very slow. From the Tomsharware link above a device using


a USB 2 interface would certainly benefit from the better performance
of 7200 RPM and higher cache drives.


Nope, it won't. Current 5400rpm drives will easily flood USB2.


http://www4.tomshardware.com/storage...915/index.html also
gives a good indication of what can be expected from external drives.
