I read in some reviews that the DeskStar 7K4000 has 173 MB/s sequential reads and writes and the VelociRaptor has 213 MB/s sequential reads and writes.
Would the performance difference between the two drives be noticeable when loading games? The DeskStar is a 4TB drive, so I'm not sure if I want tons of storage or fast performance.
