While interesting, these results are extremely out of date compared to
current drives. Current chips and firmware regularly put out 2-10 times
better performance than even the best graphs on this page, depending on
what you buy.

We moved all of our performance-critical servers to NVRAM-based storage
years ago. For us, it was well worth the added expense.
