Generally speaking ultra-wide SCSI are the fastest.
( they are also by far the most expensive twice/thrice the price of similar ide/ata-drives)
( they are also somewhat limited in GB capacity - around 36/72Gb )


USB and firewire harddrives are generally usual Ide/ata 130/133 harddrives
used in common pc:s and newer Mac:s.

They are only equipped with an electronics interface that handles the
USB/Firewire protocol respectively - so the computer can communicate with the harddrive
through these protocols.

Maxtor Diamonds ultra ata/ide 133, 7200rpm drives with the 8Mb cache is very good drives.
Maxtor makes a series of external Firewire/USB-2.0 drives (called OneTouch) that uses these mechanisms.
Check them out.
