with some "no s, sherlock" on the ">1PB will require additional infra."

go on...

like people talking about 1gbit iSCSI, and no one thought to say that 120MB/s, which is technically slower than ATA/133 which came out twenty years ago, might be the bottleneck. Obviously 10gbit will be "as fast as a local drive"!

Yes, exactly right! This means you need to buy additional hardware, like network cards[0], and possibly gbic and fiber optics.

Adding ec2 instances is trivial, setting up 3FS is hard.
