More important is Firewire or USB 2.0 if both computers have Firewire it is faster.

The speed of an external HDD is only determined by the USB controllers of your computer and the enclosure.

No real harm, but when you post an off topic question onto an existing thead it is called "hijackin". One new topic post in Newbie Forum OR Hard Drive is the correct way.
