Maybe in theory but no, I've never heard anyone complain. It just takes the time to get the
address of whatever you're trying to get and goes straight to it. It doesn't have to travel
across the front of the hard drive to get there. That's not the fastest one though and you
can get a 10,000 rpm one about anywhere for more money and Jordan Eavis (Duff) is
going for a supposedly faster one with some kind of "boost" but I don't play games so this
one is plenty fast for me.
