Yeah, I'd think so, but then what causes the hiccups if not access time? Speed of my HDDs is way above what should be necessary, so that's the only thing that comes to mind. Especially when the issue goes away after copying the ISO to a SSD.
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.
