OK, so basically you're in a completely different class of expectations about how systems perform under disk loss and heavy load then me. A drive array is very different from large-scale cloud storage.

Hard to say. My impression is:

- A large ZFS pool of SSDs is much faster than any cloud storage.

- Cloud storage failed much more often than the SSDs in our pool.

- "Noisy neighbor" is an issue on the cloud
