I was using the generic one, but would that affect the USB2 drive?
How does a standard IDE drive in one of those USB2 enclosures compare
in throughput to an internal mini-ide at 5200rpm?
I'm also using ext3. My previous desktop used reiserfs. Things I
read on the internet say that ext3 should be performing better but
maybe I should have chosen a different fs?

More specifically, make sure you are using a driver specific to

Did you look at hdparm, esp for the internal drive?
