@scottalanmiller now the next question is - what kind of interface can handle 1 million IOPs? and what type of throughput would we be looking at?

PCIe. Everything in that category is raw PCIe, pretty much anything you see touting more than 100K or 150K is a card, not attached to a slwo SATA or SAS connection. It operates much more like raw memory.

How long, in theory, is it expected to take to get 10TB of data onto or off of a SATA drive? At maximum write speed, it seems like that would still take a very long timey wimey.
