Is internal hard disk faster than external one?

Internal hard disks are faster than external hard disks for data transmission. They can copy and move data at a high speed as compared to portable drives. It is because data transmission speed depends upon interface between drive and system. As external hard disks transfer data via USB 2.0 data cable, they are slower than internal hard drives.
