There is a reason both PS4 and XboxOne will require to install the game even if the Bluray can hold all that data and more. High density optical formats are slow to read.
At 16x Bluray only reads at 72MB/s.
- nknighthb 13y agoHigher densities bring faster reads. I would assume this technology would be many times faster than the raw linear read performance of Blu-ray, as Blu-ray was much faster than DVDs, and DVDs much faster than CDs. 72MB/sec, BTW, is substantially faster than best-case USB 2.0, which many people still use for backups and file transfers. The primary limiting factor for games isn't the 72MB/sec linear read speed, it's seek time/random read performance.
