You seem upset about HDDs but yeah... been a long time since the transfer rates from HDDs were in the KB range... I mean well they are in the 100k KB range but still, you might want to look at upgrading from whatever it is you are using for KB/S speeds.

Random seeks will drop your spindles to kilobytes speeds.

But the major part of game data of most games can be loaded sequential. Most of the loading time will be sequential loading of big textures / files, not the seeking times for the starting points between these data transfers.
