> Max throughput is around 6gbps with a fairly high latency. In the consumer market, a number of performance NVMe drives will hit over 5GB/sec, which would be 40 Gbps. The latency isn't anywhere near as good as even quite-old RAM, but modern SSDs are considerably less than an order magnitude off in transfer speed from even current, common ram (DDR4) and "only" about a hundred times higher in latency than RAM. That's pretty stunning from mass storage. So is well over 500,000 IOPS.
