Nodes rarely need to access these files so IO speed is less important and the bulk of the chain data can be stored on a cheaper HDD. Once blocks pass some threshold age (90,000 blocks behind the head by default) the block and receipt data is flattened and saved as a raw binary blob of data along with an index entry file used for identification.
