Absolutely agree, but the disk I/O performance improvement on the Pi5 is pretty impressive, and it's also quite impressive for a sub-$100 highly flexible computer.It amazing how we're all saying it blaming fast when it is actually amazingly slow (in in PCIE4) compared to any recent era 5/6 years PC or laptop, when NVME M.2. started to be use
Even my laptop is at least twice as fast but then it uses an extra lane to the Pi and these are excruciatingly slow compared to modern NVMe setup with all lanes and PCIE4 or5.
That's in benchmarks, in the real world use you don't really notice that pcie2 to 3 jump in a single lane nor that PCIE3 to 4.
Unless your transferring a clone of one drive to another.
Anyway, I came to say there is a Iong topic on this comparing different boards and settings and the errors people are seeing.
And, it's worth noting that there are other ways to improve performance in this highly contrived benchmark such as using a copy-on-write file system (btrfs), where the copy is instantaneous.
Lastly, disk I/O is a small (but obviously important) piece of the total performance picture.
