Yeah, that's true. Raw speeds don't really mean a whole lot without more context, and in practice writing to disk is going to be a lot slower even if the peak throughputs are not quite that far off. The performance characteristics are quite different in practice. I assume at one point in history though, these numbers were closer to true even for raw throughput... PCIe and NVMe have probably helped close the gap a bit, I would guess.
