Faster than NVMe, faster than RAM?

This is for a sabrent 1tb pci-e 4 NVME running on an pci-e 4 bus



which is about as good as you can get - so I suspect the cloud is pulling a pile of tricks to get that result (as it's a hybrid drive which probably uses memory caching looking at those figures)

I suspect your issue is your actual laptop and nothing is going to fix that.

You lack imagination.

Is it within reach of a mere mortal to build a computer that has storage faster than your fast NVMe drive or even RAM?
I've experimented with running two 970 Pros on a hardware RAID0 but there were no gains to speak of, as the bus seems to be oversaturated.

I've found that the drive speed is a huge bottleneck. 10x 2.7GHz cores (local) are on par with 4x 2.3GHz (cloud) - Both recent Xeons.
