I wasn't aware of this limit, what exaclty does it mean in real-life usage?
It's a limit on the number of operations per second you can do on the disk (100 writes or 100 reads per second). 100 IOPS could be comparable to a single SATA HDD.
IDE drives, most sata drives tend to be 200+ these days
A normal 7200rpm with more than 2 platters (1TB+, 500GB+ platters) SATA does around 200 IOPS - SAS does around 250. Obviously cannot compare this to SSDs 50k+.
A couple, yes.
Is it a hard limit or something you can't reach unless suspended?
