I do not know the actual transfer rate but it is reasonable.

You can put a complete install of Panther on it - custom install and 
dont install printer drivers and language packs and such extras then 
boot from it, do repairs and such.

You can also put your home folder on it and take it with you so you 
have your stuff wherever you go.
  Now the iPod disk drive was not intended for running continually and 
it will get hot if you use it for your main disk. Most likely causing 
premature failure from the excess heat buildup if you do this for 
extended periods.
