“Wait,” you might be thinking, “isn’t ‘giga’ more than ‘mega?’” Yes, it is. The top speed of gigabit ethernet? 125MBps, which means it’s now the bottleneck on your wired home network. Even conventional hard drives have jumped from 125MBps to 250MBps. There was the 600MBps SATA interface and then 2- to 4GBps NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express). Computer storage mechanisms have become dramatically faster over the last decade or so.
