im intrigued. go on

SATA is capped at 6gbps and the consortium that makes the spec is saying the next version will only be 12gbps, meanwhile SSDs are projected to be at 20gbps in the next few years. There is also a lot of underlying things in the SATA and SAS spec that were designed around spinning discs and slow down SSDs a lot. Intel said gently caress you to SATA and is making PCI-E drives that are crazy fast now.

if you actually care heres a picture and an article

oh poo poo you're right. this is why some browsers don't support mp3 natively in the html5 audio tag

nonfree alternatives may be supported but it doesn't mean they are ideal.
