SSDs Have Become Ridiculously Fast, Except in the Cloud: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39443679
I worked this out to the macOS SMB implementation really sucking. I set up a NFS driver and it got about twice as fast but it’s annoying to mount and use, and still far from the disk’s capabilities.
I’ve mostly resorted to abandoning the network (after large expense) and using Thunderbolt and physical transport of the drives.
I mount my nfs shares like this: sudo mount -t nfs -o nolocks -o resvport 192.168.1.1:/tank/data /mnt/data
-o nolocks Disables file locking on the mounted share. Useful if the NFS server or client does not support locking, or if there are issues with lock daemons. On macOS, this is often necessary because lockd can be flaky.
-o resvport Tells the NFS client to use a reserved port (<1024) for the connection. Some NFS servers (like some Linux configurations or *BSDs with stricter security) only accept requests from clients using reserved ports (for authentication purposes).

Sure, now cost out the rest of the server, the racks, the colocation space for racks, power, multiple AZ redundancy, a clos network fabric, network peering, the spare hardware for failures, off site backups, supply chain management, a team of engineers to design the system, a team of staff to physically rack new hardware and unrack it, a team of engineers to manage the network, on call rotations for all those teams.
Sure the NVME is just $150 bro.
