I was just reminded of the LaCie "Bigger Disk", and the advertised transfer
rates using its various interfaces:
USB2.0: 34MB/s
FireWire400: 35MB/s
FireWire800: 55MB/s

A run of the mill drive probably can't do much better than saturate 35MB/s,
though.  AFAIK CPU use for USB is much higher than FW, though.  Just so you know.
