Hmm well then the question becomes how come when I'm downloading something on Steam over my 500Mbps connection it has to pause downloading periodically while it continues writing, as if the download is faster than the hard drive?

Because steam games are compressed and your CPU can't extract them fast enough

Huh ok, I wasn't expecting that to be the bottleneck but it makes just as much sense!
