Default External vs Internal

Just about to buy another HD, thinking external, are there any issues with external drives? It's seriously ok to have a 300 gb USB drive (i dunno just sounds weird). What's the speed difference? Anything else?

-Thanks

ps... how fast is the transfer rate of IDE? USB 2.0 is 480mbps right?
