You asked why we care that a hard drive is faster than another fast drive (or than a floppy)?
Does this need ANY kind of knowledge?

I didn't ask that.
Sorry to insist it IS a lack or knowledge on my part, as I don't really know how faster mb/s will benefit me in the real world when using my Amiga.
Obviously a little less now since I've had some explanation.

It is not like asking "why the sun rises".
It more like asking "why when the sun rises, I can see more things out of my window".
It could be a difference in mentality, or my language barrier, or I don't know what, but really... sorry.
Sorry that I (still) fail to understand, and sorry that I insisted and why I commented this like I did.
Carry on. |
Just being patronising now aren't you? Just no need for that response.

If you consider a large jpg file, the CPU will take a while to decode it no matter how quick the transfer rate of the HD.

Ok so it's not quite as straight forward as fast transfer speed, fast opening everything etc. Any demanding games benefit from faster transfer speed?
