Look at the data rate for a 1x blu-ray drive and a 1x CD drive. Bluray reads data inherently faster.

Read mechanism 405 nm laser:
1× at 36 Mbit/s
2× at 72 Mbit/s
4× at 144 Mbit/s
6× at 216 Mbit/s
12× at 432 Mbit/s

1x is just under 5MB/S

Meaning 4x is...

To compare, 1x CD-ROM is 150KB/s

Like "Blaine Oilver" stated, I'd much rather have a terrabyte hard drive.
