I was wondering if there is a speed difference in game loading times between using a IDE usb enclosure compared to a SATA usb enclosure? I'm currently using a IDE usb enclosure and have noticed longer loading times compared to running the game from the internal 360 hard drive. Has anyone tried comparing the loading times of games between a IDE usb enclosure versus a SATA usb enclosure? Was there any difference in speeds?

Unless your a speed nut, it's not a quantum leap.

there is a slight diff between sata and ide but as was stated above is hardly noticeable
the biggest diff is between sata interface and usb running games off sata/esata is notably smoother than usb
in my opinion
