I agree. I've long been an external USB hard drive user - BUT - I've also found making your optical (DVD) drive USB is also an excellent way to get past install problems with IDE or SATA issues.
I bought a little "dongle" that makes just about any drive a "USB drive". It'll plug into 2.5" laptop HD's, IDE HD's and optical drives, and SATA drives of any type. As long as the MB will boot from USB, it'll skirt many chipset issues, and the dreaded "still waiting for root device" as a general rule...
Running both 10.5.8 and 10.6.4 on my stinking AMD/ATi machine...
