So today let's look at how far had drives have come.  

Let's start with some traditional spinny hard drives with sequential reads:

2006: This is a ThinkPad T60.  100 MB/s.

This is my Dell Dimension from 2005.  125 MB/s.

Let's fast forward to early SSDs: 2012!

Here is 3 Intel X25-Ms in Raid 0 configuration to get max speed. 724MB/s which was at the upper edge of speed for the time.

More typical was my OCZ SSD from 2012

OCZ: 343 MB/sec

Now we go to Toad-2020 which a Viper m.2:

and this is the Samsung 990 Pro.

So a pretty big jump with PCI Express 3.0 being the bottleneck I suspect.

Let's now jump to 2024.

Here we have a Crucial PCI Express 5.0 M.2 drive: 14,307

The random score is a little odd and I suspect it would change if I ran it again but I'm not going to.
