Just woundering if it's better to have a high burst speed and a high read speed, or a faster access time?

I use the system for games.

i.e. If you have one Raptor, you might get - 5ms access. 80 MB/s read. 95 MB/s Burst.

Or, 2x Striped 10k RPM's - 9ms access. 120 MB/s. 170 MB/s burst.


What would be better for gaming, the games are roughly 2 GB in size.

If I try I can get a single raptor to 0.08 ms access, but loose a lot of read speed.
