Does Hard Drive Speed Matter For Gaming?

[Jus136]

I'm thinking of either a 3gb/s or 6 gb/s hard drive, but I mostly use my computer for gaming. Does HD speed factor in?

Any modern 7200 rpm hdd with at least 16mb of cache is going to be adequate for gaming. Your load times will just be quicker with a faster drive.
