 Do you believe the internal hard drive to be faster than an external (USB
 2.0 or a Firewire 400) would be?  (I'm thinking external drive for my system
 backup as my motherboard's IDE ports are all taken [3 hard drives + the
 CD/DVD drive] and I really have no PCI expansion slots to spare for a second
 HD controller;  although I suppose I could part with some precious extra
 dough to replace the multiple hard drives with one larger one, thus freeing
 up an internal port for, a less expensive and thus partial cost-offsetting,
 internal HD backup.)
