I believe it was already mentioned this includes any caching done by the
client. Its not exactly the same as raw IO, so a lot of the "doesn't make
sense" parts are cache effects on the client-side. My point wasn't so much
that "look we get better then we can do in theory" but "we are doing on-par
with expensive dedicated boxes." (I believe that Equallogic was about 10k
USD, when it was purchased without drives, although I'm not up-to-date on
current pricing).
