Note how that is still well in excess of what e.g. AWS EBS GP3 volumes offer (or at least used to, though even now their "80K IOPS" is measured with 64 KiB random transfers, whereas Micron measured that 42K IOPS with 4 KiB random transfers), which is what the person above is gesturing towards.

The same EBS GP3 used to be specified with 16K max IOPS at 16 KiB random transfers until pretty recently.

What’s the intended block size of these things? I thought 4KB was normal, but that doesn’t make sense at 40K IOPS, and doesn’t align with the benchmarks I’ve seen.

Also: price is expected to be $80k. I suppose density is the selling point here, not speed.
