U'' (~2.3 GB of 25 GB) the laser assembly moves once all the way to the edge of the disc when the game is started, and can be heard only making small adjustments during gameplay.

During gameplay, the laser assembly can be heard making much larger adjustments.

When one inserts a game with a small file size like ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' (~360 MB of 4.7 GB) the laser assembly can be heard moving in one direction all the way across the disc just before the game name appears on the screen. Once the game is started, the laser assembly makes only very small adjustments during gameplay, which suggests that it is reading from the edge.
