I might try keeping the tempdb on the main drive if you move the db off to an external - depending on how your queries are written, you might want that on the fastest drive available...RAM would be best if you have the space though. I'd also be concerned with the sheer number of I/O requests saturating the external disk controller more than the bandwidth. Another reason to consider leaving the tempdb off the external drive.
