It depends on exactly what you're using, but yes.So i'm moving some files from my secondary disk (160 GB HDD from Laptop) to an USB. And, it tooks a loooot of times. If i use the computer while the secondary HDD transfering files, will if affects the transfering process?

The drive and CPU in the laptop can only do so much at once.
Just let it run. It will finish eventually.
Yeah, I was way off with my numbers. Maybe it was 100 meg/s writespeeds I was looking at 6 months ago. And not 10. Those are around 40-50 $.To put things in perspective, my $8 Sandisk Ultra 64GB USB stick writes at 30-40 MB/s and reads at 70-80MB/s. My Sandisk Extreme 32GB model (cost $30 six years ago) does 50-90 MB/s writes and >100 MB/s reads. These are real-world speeds; synthetic benchmarks are much higher.
Personally, I usually avoid making an HDD do more than one job at the same time. But this doesn't seem to be what the OP is doing.
