I'm slightly surprised by the numbers given for IOps. The example they give is 48 drives giving 2MM IOps:

2,000,000 / 48 = 41,666.66… IOps

45k IOps for 16TB limits its use cases a bit. I don't know enough about storage to make an educated guess, but anyone know what the constraint there might be? Aren't there controllers that can do 1MM IOPS on single EFDs? 45k is still a ton of operations, but I expected more somehow.
