If you're comparing two identical hard drives then it's going to work faster if it's more closely connected to the motherboard.After that it all depends on exactly what you're comparing.Modern interfaces like External Sata and External Sata II have plenty of bandwidth to connect a very fast hard drive to your computer with speed similar to those inside the computer
