This is great, the visual explanations work really well

One thing that threw me off is that it says for an SSD a random read is 150μs, but 1MB sequential read is 1ms? Shouldn't sequential reads be faster, or are two different read sizes being compared or something? If so, the ambiguity may confuse some people to think random reads are faster
