Let me add my thinking is the external would be more flexible. Anyone else use one. I know it slowed ripping way down.

USB2 = 60 MBPS Firewire = 50 MBPS Firewire, while slower will actually give you more stable transfer rates than USB and is recommended. I prefer an internal drive as well as many others.
