I have a “normal” SATA SSD plugged in, and it’s running within 10% of the hdparm benchmark in the article (it’s not a 1:1 comparison since it’s an older SSD, cheap adapter, and I have two other HDDs plugged in via USB for bulk storage). At that speed, with those other variables, I think it’s the USB port that’s the bottleneck.
