Also, some might think that this problem somehow goes away if you just move to SSDs; but it does not. The speeds are an order of magnitude faster, but the curves are very similar. A 4TB SSD is not 4x faster than a 1TB SSD.

Isn't this partially solved from the software side though?

It is common in my work to see read replicas of 2-3. Sometimes those replicas are split up into smaller "shards" across multiple disks even further.

Restoring might be pulling from 10 different disks at the same time.
