Storage is rarely the bottleneck in modern systems, a lot of software is just written as if it was. It is completely ordinary these days to have 4-12+ GB/sec of sustained storage bandwidth available, and that is available to the application if you write the code correctly.

Even with serious performance engineering, it is difficult to drive compression, parsers, codecs, etc with throughput comparable to modern storage. There are several non-cryptographic hashing algorithms that can be driven that hard, but none of them are mentioned in the article.
