It is only for file system operations, and mostly these do not actually block, as the results are available in cache. So it is probably reasonable for casual use.

Now if you want to get good performance on an SSD (ie the rated iops) you will need a decent queue depth, like 32 or so, so it wont work but thats a specialist use case.



SSD's are a specialist use case these days? Or getting good performance on them is? What do you mean?


Getting full performance from them is a specialist requirement. Most people are not disk IO bound on SSD.


Isn't pretty much every DB that doesn't fit into RAM?
