I felt that common tasks were taking too low (like extracting a bunch of rars) so I ran HD Tach on my drives and found this

(burst)

Boot SATA - 131 MB/s
Secondary SATA - 136 MB/s

IDE #1 - 32MB/s
IDE #2 - 1.8MB/s



Earlier, my secondary SATA drive reported a 4MB/s rate, so I plugged it into another slot and it went back to normal. Why are my IDE drives being so slow now?

System
Q6600
Asus P5Q Pro
4gb ocz platinum
antec truepower trio 650w PSU.
8800GT
 
It seems I forgot to install the intel controller drivers. Speeds are better now.

120gb WD IDE - 32MB/s (avg read)
160gb WD IDE - 28MB/s (avg read)

seagate 500gb SATA (boot) - 89 MB/s (avg read)
maxtor 300gb SATA (secondary) - 54 MB/s (avg read)


are these IDE times to be expected?
