Interesting stuff. This game is pretty impressive visually. A little surprised to read about the I/O struggles but I suppose it's a title that is constantly streaming data.

Not that it matters now but I wonder if a solid state drive would have made this easier or if the problems were more to do with the connectors between the drive and CPU?

To answer your question yes the I/O performance would have being solved by adding an SSD and I'm not sure if SATA 2 interface is the issue.

Thanks for answering. The reason I ask is that Toms did a comparison of SSD, hybrid and the normal HDD but saw only minimal improvements with the SSD and hybrid drives (actually, the hybrid and SSD both reduced load times by the same amount). I forgot they use SATA 2 so I guess that can't help SSD performance. 

That's not a big issue. The most advantage you get from SSD is not transfer rate but access time to data which is *way* faster.
