>Meanwhile cloud provider hdd storage is slower than usb2. I have a 32 core machine deployed in azure right now, and the hdd that was deployed with it has a max read speed of 10MB/s

That's because they're not bare hard drives directly connected to the server, they're a virtual hard drive over SAN.

Aha. Thank you. I'm not a sysadmin, and I couldn't figure out why I was provisioning machines and drives that had double digit integer multiples of the performance that is being advertise, paying heavily for it, only to be capped at such a small limit. Unfortunately my cloud provider doesn't seem to mention this fact _anywhere_ in their documentation.
