Is data transfer speed better with SSD caddy vs USB external disk?

The goal is to transfer files from SSD to external disk via caddy or USB2

Additionally, will the idle drive in the caddy drain my battery, can I turn it off and only turn on when I need to access the drive?

So 2 questions basicall:

1. How fast is data transfer with SSD caddies
2. Can I turn the extra drive on and off

Thanks
