Alright, I'll be the first techie guy to step up to the plate here. Yes a second internal would be faster then an external for the reason of read speeds. I don't know the specific speeds but its faster to read an harddrive through the internal IDE then it would be to try and read it from the external USB since USB is slower. There are pros and cons to both as there are with everything in our wonderful world here. If you have two hard drives in your computer and your computer crashes due to a virus. It usually only effects the operating system and thats why it don't work its not like the hard drive is PHYSICALLY broke, thats why you can always reformat and your good. However if your computer gets a power surge and it fries the inside you'll probably fry both hard drives and thats no good. Thats why an external is good because its isolated from that. Your USB drives run off its own power source most the time so its cool. Though its still not anymore safe to viruses then an internal. If a virus infects a file it infects it and you have to clean and get rid of it and stuff. I'm sure you know that though ha ha. SO yea any questions feel free to send me a PM or an email at Dex@XFRadio.net, hope I was helpful
