I/O has been the bottleneck for many things especially databases.

So as someone who has seen a long spread of technological advancements over the years I can confidently tell you that chips have far surpassed any peripheral components.

Kind of that scenario where compute has to be fast enough anyway to support I/O. So really it always has to be faster, but I am saying that it has exceeded those expectations.
