I wonder, if you're downloading a file at this speed, your computer wouldn't be able to write it to your hard disk fast enough correct?

Right. But if you have an SSD it should be fine.

Not all SSDs are faster than a hard-disk for sequential writes (for instance writing a big file to disk).

I guess it could be interesting for high-quality, real-time video or online games more than downloading a file. Then again, I wonder what the latency is like.

Not unless you have multi-disk striping, also known as RAID 0.
