[ubuntu-uk] Running off a USB connected HDD?

[Markie]

Hi Folks,

I have a 9.10 32-bit system on my internal SATA drive and ive been trying
out 10.04 64-bit on an external connected IDE drive on USB (usb2 I believe).
I find that the 10.04 system seems sluggish in comparison. Would it be
because im using USB connection? I done a similar test on a different
machine back in release 8.04 / 8.10 but that had an internal IDE drive
instead, in that case the speeds seemed similar.

I wanted to make sure before I installed 10.04 onto my internal drive

Thanks

Mark
