SDRAM
Most likely a defective file system. Try re-formatting the drive.
There isnt a special "photoshop" hard drive out there. What you are going to look for is the biggest buffer, fastest rotation, and fastest read/write times. Stay away from PATA drives, look for SATA drives with the 3.0Gbit transfer rating. Also keep in mind that your system also has a part in dealing with large files. If you have a celeron or sempron, your going to have poor performance from even the best hard drive.
If any of the files you a re transferring have a virus then your computer can be harmed.
The files become scattered on the hard drive; known as Fragmentation. In order to speed up system performance, the system should be defraged periodically, say, once or twice a month. The more fragmented the file system, the longer it takes windows to access these files, thus a slowdown in performance.
There are no benefits of transferring files from an MP4 to an AVI. There are benefits of converting AVI files to MP4. AVI is an older format and more devices are designed to play MP4 files.
The fastest way to transfer files from your computer to an external hard drive would be with a firewire cable. They are much faster than USB cables.

Disk defrag rearranges files on your hard drive. Its supposed to help speed up the systems speed for accessing files but with hard drive speeds these days disk defrags dont increase performance by a noticable amount

Transferring files
They take all of the fragmented pieces of files on your hard drive and consolidate them back into contiguous files. This can speed up performance since your computer doesn't have to search for the file fragments.
