    • modern NVMe SSDs have much more bandwidth than that, on the order of > 3GiB/s.
    • even an antique SATA SSD from 2009 will probably have much lower access latency than sending commands to a remote device over an ethernet link and waiting for a response

      Show me an SSD with 50GB/s, it'd need a PCIe6x8 or PCIe5x16 connection. By the time you RAID your swap you should really be eyeing that SFP+ port. Or muse about PCIe cards with RAM on them.

      Speaking of: You can swap to VRAM.
