Here I monitor Call of Duty Black Ops Single Player for 30 Minutes. I monitored the specific folder Call of Duty at a 1 minute interval. The first surprise is the amount of processes that were generated, which are summarised below. All contributed to numerous random and sequential read requests over the 30 minute duration to varying degrees. 64 processes generated 1,127 individual reads.
Games are not all about sequential reads, random read speeds seem to also be important.
