Depends on what is being done, most obviously with video editing and imaging.

Sure, but the absolute vast bulk of sectors are.
Nope.
Duh.
Fact remains, your completley silly claim that ACCESS TIMES havent increased that much in 30-40 years is just plain silly.
So its clearly silly to claim that isnt an improvement.
And access times arent necessarily what matters, most obviously with boot time and video editing.
Wrong again, its the user thats the main thing that consumes the time, as should be obvious from looking at the HD light alone.
Processors are completely irrelevant to your stupid claim that hard drives havent improved much in 30-40 years speed wise.
Halving is a substantial improvement.
Still a substantial improvement, stupid.
And the reality is that few systems spend much time waiting for the access time delay ANYWAY.
Separate matter entirely to where the BOTTLENECK IS.
Its the user, not the hard drive, stupid.
And you can see that form the HD led on virtually all personal desktop systems except when they are doing stuff like imaging and video editing.
