You can even use files[1]! Mostly available for testing though.
It would be nice with a bit more flexibility with regards to the underlying storage, hence this concept. I tested it in a VM and it works fine, just slow when the underlying disks gets trashed. Mostly noticeable on heavy writes and scrubs.
Should work fine on SSDs though, and might possibly even be a boon to very fast NVMe drives (increasing concurrency).
