Thanks to all for the feedback. Looks like USB for HD & CDRW is too slow. ATA is best for $ but appaears to function internally & my DT case appears full (altho it is stock apple, nothing added inside) which leaves external firewire which I could move to the next machine (someday). Firewire looks spendy tho at OWC.....I would like a large HD & CDRW both of course. Add it all up & a new machine with all the goodies is looking better.
