| HollyGamer said: well the the use of HDD on consoles is slightly diffrent from PC and the result is very effective and significant, especially games that use disc. Most of the games on consoles streamed half from the disc to HDD and to the CPU, unlike PC that need to be instaled. That's why it doesnt need to have a high speed HDD. They also use a diffrent kind of compresion tech. The reason ofcourse to cut the price as cheap as posible and also the durability. The same thing also use in most of laptop 2.5 sata HDD |
I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. Are you saying half a game is loaded from the HDD and the other half from the disc? And how does installing (like on PC) make it slower? As for compression, it has two sides. On the other hand, it's faster to read from where it's stored, but on the other hand it must be decompressed, which takes CPU time. And most laptops aren't gaming laptops, so you can pretty much ignore them, so that laptop remark isn't very useful. Most gaming PCs are desktops anyway, I think.
