Some more for the soup!
I have a couple of EHD's and last week copied my E: drive (My Documents) - one to an EHD with an IDE drive and one with a SATA drive. Both copies were done from a fresh start and the one to the IDE drive took 2 hours and the one to the SATA drive took 1.5 hours.
SO, it looks like if you are after a little more zip, go to SATA if you can.
