I have done a lot of drive benchmarks on a lot of drives, over the last decade. I have always been disappointed that despite having a 6Gbit bus available, both SSD's and HDD's have been maximum throughput limited to around 1Gbit ...  Until recently.

This year, was the first time that I benchmarked SSD's and found sustainable 6GBit throughput. And they're relatively cheap - $200 for 512G or $300 for 1T... As far as I'm concerned, HDD's are now dead for all purposes moving forward.
