I did some quick tests using hdparm against a combo
firewire/usb
external drive a few weeks ago. USB2 came in at 20.77 MB/sec while
plain old firewire posted 20.43 MB/sec. I suspect the drive itself and
it's interface with the external wire is the limiting factor.
i'm getting about 29Mb/sec for USB2 and 18Mb/sec for firewire here,
testing with hdparm.
