Those SSD speeds are very impressive indeed. When I bought my 27" iMac in late 2013, I splurged on the top-of-the-line 1TB PCIe SSD, half expecting it to remain competitive for years to come.
Having just downloaded the AJA System Test Lite from the App Store and run it, I was slightly disappointed to see how far it's fallen behind: 703 Write 709 Read
On the other hand, I haven't ever felt slowed down by my disk, while the maxed-out 32GB of RAM have been very useful...
