I've been doing some benchmarking using sysutils/fio recently. It seems
that for my desktop SATA disk (a Samsung F3) around 28-30k iops is about
the maximum, seen both on Windows 7 (NTFS) and FreeBSD (ZFS).
FreeBSD is much more bursty compared to Windows, getting 80k iops and
210MB/s for a few seconds followed by several of 0.
