Seektimes and average transfer rates have already been addressed earlier within this thread, besides the original capacity topic.

So then you do not deny the 360's drive is faster when seek times and everything else is taken into account?  Just using average transfer rates gives a misinformed picture.

Like I said, any such comparisons regarding worst case scenario seektimes are wrong. If you take the maximum data capacity of a 360 DVD, like 6.8 GB, it won't have worse seektimes. Only if you go well beyond that capacity, worst case scenario seektimes are worse, but by far not as bad as the time involved with changing discs.

Just reread this thread and follow the links, it's all pretty well explained.
