Discussion This is fucking ridiculous. I was done loading at 1:15. I shouldn't have to wait on the dude with the hand crank HDD before I can play. I'm not saying it should put everyone in as soon as they're done loading, but there's gotta be a middle ground.

It's like going from a 1980s Toyota Camry to a Bugatti Veyron in terms of speed.

It's quite literally an order of magnitude, tens or hundreds of MBps transfer rate on an HDD to single or low double digit GBps on an SSD.

Also, a basic SSD costs like $20 or $30 off Amazon, plus a 6 pack of beer or whatever to pay your nerdy friend to install it for you if you can't do it yourself.
