I am using (3) 300GB IDE 7200 and (1) 500GB SATA and I have noticed
the SATA is lot faster than IDE. I don't know because the SATA is
newer so less fragment or whatever but I have noticed the speed
difference. Also, the 500GB SATA is external hard drive connected to
USB2 port.

There must surely be something misconfigured for a USB2 interface to be
faster than PATA.

Are the IDE channels set to use PIO (slow) or DMA?

Is the Photoshop scratch disk set to be a drive other than the one you're
opening the picture from?
