Feel free to find other benches.

But point for point:

Yes, there is buffer cache. But the pic shows they were transferring 4000MB of data. So caches don't help here. Don't know where you get the GB/s but that's obviously also wrong. Of course your hdd you use in your PS3 is a bit faster because of ssd-cache but that's not the point. And the ps3 has a crappy interface to hdd (meaning outdated) so that's no proof for anything.

No the benchmark didn't show the model but it's 3 years old. I am curious to see how you find someting proving the opposite (so that at any time the 6xbdd of ps4 is faster than an hdd).

Bold: I already said I was wrong two time... are you reading what I wrote?

Now about the HDD a 2009 sequencial read test with standard Samsumg 7200rpm.

That the reason I'm saying your bench picture is wrong... just at the start the a 7200rpm HDD reach close to 100MB/s (not over) and after that it started to drop to get a average of 68GB/s... now a 5400rpm HDD have a even worst average read (< 50GB/s).

I think the test just uses the start of the process.


So you doubt a test from tom's hardware and favor this from 2009? It's 2013 and again Ethomaz, it is not GB/s, we are not talking about ram here. But even if you take this, this is still way better than any bd-drive. 14.5 ms access time is what an optical can't even dream of. And transfer rates are still way better than 6xbd.
