| joeorc said: CLV drive's are true x speed thus the speed is the same ,so its not bad for Games at all. and yea to get that speed having a 6x speed for your Blu-ray optical drive would be fast enough. weather its a CAV OR CLV |
CLV is bad for gaming because the rotational speed of the disc has to change when you do random access. It would be even worse for a 6x CLV drive, simple physics. The 2x CLV drive in the PS3 varies from 1600 rpm (reading outer edge) to 3900 rpm (reading inner edge). A 6x CLV drive would have to go from 4800 to 11700 rpm. (current max is about 10000 rpm) A 6x CAV blu-ray drive always rotates at about 4800 rpm.
6x CAV seems the best and cheapest solution for gaming.
Hard Disk Drive
Built-in
That part is going to effect games a lot more. I expect even more installs next gen.
