USB 2.0 is pretty good, I benchmarked it at about 20 Megs/S.
Comes in about 80% as fast as my board-mounted hard drives, my machine has dual buses, running at 133 mhz FSB speed.

It’s more decent than USB 1.0; I have/had a couple of IOmega’s “Peerless” drives {and the bases for both USB [2.0, IIRC] and FireWire [400, IIRC]} and a couple of USB/FireWire hard-drive enclosures.
In a stress-test running them all on one of the busses, the FireWire beat out the USB 2.0.
