There is no future for bluray in gaming. period
I doubt even sony will have a br drive on its next system* (if there is one) |
Is there a particular reason you believe that? I guess you think games will be larger than 400GB next gen. I expect a 6x to 8x Blu-ray drive (36MB/s). That would be faster than the 2.5 SATA hard drive in the PS3 now (30MB/s continuous). For those that don't know, there is a difference between "B" and "b" in the data world. |
A 250GB HDD averages 50MB/S @5400RPM (2.5")
A 500GB HDD averages 63MB/S @5400RPM (2.5")

Speeds shouldn't change with increase/decrease in storage capacity.
Look at the "rotating disk" section of the chart. May I see a link from you?

And Blu Ray speeds are magic and fairy dust? No, its due to increased density of data.

WTH? "Magic and fairy dust"?
Anyway, 40MB/s (sustained) seems to be about the average. LOL...smack dab in the middle of my statement and your low end statement.
