Buying some harddrives and was curious about the performance of the 3 different types of connections listed.

External Firewire
External USB

Internal SATA

Thanks for the help.
 
Not even close - internal anything, especially SATA will walk away in the speed department.
 
Just a Reference for Speeds:

Fibre Channel
SAS
SCSI
Internal Sata
PATA
E-Sata
.........
Firewire
USB 2.0
..........
Ethernet
..........
USB 1.1

You can consider the gaps a relatively big drop, with each group being generally comparible, although E-Sata can be very much worse than interal PATA/SATA depending on the implementation. Firewire is generaly faster than USB 2.0

The top 6 are all comparible if done properly, but Fibre/SCSI/SAS drives obviously are the only ones with 15k RPM drives.
