That's def worth looking into. Even with every tweak I could throw at it, ran into a physical bottleneck, the SSD can only eat it so fast. It's pegged at 100% util and "still going to take for fucking ever"
Depending on the SSD, you can also tune the queue and block size to perform to its best.
NVMe's are better because of their RAM cache and controllers' further "atomic" stuff, but SAS enterprise cards' stuff does many more atomic commands, which, when used on SAS controllers, drops the latency of high IO/ps quite a lot. So, depends on what you have...
New BIG NVMe's are a different beast, I am still exploring... and they are almost like a computer! It's going to be a game on PCIe over those...
