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

It takes the 1.5TB 7200.11 a full five seconds longer to boot than its 1TB predecessor. That makes the one-point-five one of the slowest drives in this test, well behind most of the terabyte pack.

The latest 'cuda fares better in our game level load time tests. In both Doom 3 and Far Cry, it's only a couple of seconds behind the VelociRaptor.
