Boot and load times
To test system boot and game level load times, we busted out our trusty stopwatch.

Boot times are quick for both the SE16 and RE2, with only one one hundredth of a second separating the two.

Our game level load tests knock the Western Digital drives back some, and the RE2 actually pulls up slower than the SE16 in Far Cry. Of course, that still puts the RE2 in the top five, with two of those places occupied by 10K-RPM Raptors.
