[cod] Off Topic / Kinda Sorta

Fast hard drives or arrays significantly decrease map loading times and can
better cope with many different gameservers trying to read and write files.

And from a client point of view: I have a 150GB raptor in my gaming rig and
I'm usually the first person to join a new map. Writing screenshots also
produces less of a lag moment (except, for some reason, for the first one
after a cold start).

Why are people always talking about harddrives when it comes to gaming.
The game loads all the data to RAM anyway, so you do not need a fast
harddrive to play a game (only to save 1 or 2 seconds on load-time)

A fast HDD will not give you FPS or lower ping. Spend a few more bucks on
your CPU and GPU instead.
