And there's also the issue of spin-up/down when the game does not stream data continuously. Consoles typically spin the optical media all the time, even if it's not accessed, and PC HDs OTOH tend to spin down between reads.
What HDD were you testing this with? Did you run a smart report on it? 100-200ms is a lot of latency even with head parking. Something was very wrong with your HDD setup. I do not encounter this issue running the .iso off my toshiba 3TB 7,200 rpm HDD and I'm willing to bet most of the other users here don't either.
