Real-world difference between copying using these methods

[OCdude]

I'm tempted to replace my ancient PC with a netbook for the time being, which means i'll have to access my old ATA133 drives via my USB2 caddies.

I know the 'theoretical' limits of the 2 buses (133MB/s for ATA133 and 60MB/s for USB2).

But realistically, am i going to want to chop my own face off when i see the speed difference when i'm copying large files onto the drives via USB2?

Correct, the netbook is just something cheap(ish) to make do, until i get my proper upgrades later in the year!

As for the data i'll be copying, it'll be large ISOs (legal, of course!) due to the fact that the NC10 doesn't have a DVD drive, nor do I have an external DVD drive.

So yeah, nothing hilariously large, just maybe 5-10GB every couple of weeks.
