Um, technically, USB2 supports up to 480mbits aka 60 mbytes per second. That's about as fast as a standard 7200rpm drive can goes. So connection should not be an issue unless theres something preventing you from using USB2.0. The format is not as widespread as it should be, especially on the OS side - Microsoft sided with Firewire for some reason and proper usb2.0 support came late in Windows XP. There are also possible Motherboard issues as well.

Even standard IEEE 1394a (FireWire 400) will still outperform USB 2.0 High-Speed.

No, usb2.0 high-speed is 480mbits while Firewire 400 is 400mbits "only". What you may be thinking of is IEEE 1394b, aka FireWire 800, which is 800mbits, but much less common.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
