MMORPG:Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games
In a Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG), the flow of game determines the life and death of a player when it comes to a fierce battle. The hardware in your computer ranging from CPU, video card, RAM to hard drive is the key of performance as soon as you log in whatever game you are about to play. Among all, the hard drive performance has the greatest impact on the time you spend to get into the game. We actually tested the performance of a number of hard drives and SSDs with a popular MMORPG game in the market. As the test player was loading the game at suburbs, it took 32 seconds for the player to actually get to make any movement in the game with a traditional hard drive, while it took 2/3 less time when switching to SATAII SSD. However, when Team Dark L3 came to play, it took only 12 seconds to load the game. The player experienced the difference of an even faster loading time in a main city (a multi-player environment). This is only part of the story how powerful Team Dark L3 is in the accessing data. It is up to 4 times faster to load a game than any other traditional hard drive, which allows a head start than anybody else on the games and keeps players from the long, agonizing wait which busts the mood for some hardcore fun.
