With Quake 4, we again see first time loads are much shorter in duration with the Hitachi Deskstar 7K160 than our DiamondMax 10 drives. That applies when we ran these hard drives as single drives or in a RAID 0 array. Unlike F.E.A.R, we only save 2 seconds overall with a stripe array and with such a long load, it's actually a moot point. Results with consecutive loads on both drives, as a single drive and in a stripe array are pretty much in the same, so it's obvious the hard drive is not much of factor here.
