picture them he will open the real foto with the path that was saved
into db of the program.

Well, there are many photo softwares which will do this. However, 2MB/s is insanely slow. That's slower than flash media. You really should upgrade your external drive.

Why don't you try Google's Picasa (http://picasa.google.com/)?

More like the PC. Sounds like a USB 1.0 Port. Doesn't really matter about the speed of the drive, unless it's also the same. Then replace that as well

Sounds like a USB 1.0 Port.
Even USB 1.0 has a transfer speed of 60MB/s. Either way, the real solution isn't just finding a photo software that caches thumbnails.
