That's all just false. Just because you're single-writer at the application level doesn't mean the OS isn't queueing enough writes to saturate storage at the device level. We've benchmarked plenty of high speed NVMe devices, like Intel Optane SSDs, etc. showing this. http://www.lmdb.tech/bench/optanessd/
