>To get IO that can saturate a 10G costs around 20k
Assuming 10G Ethernet is 8b/10b like a lot of other protocols, that's 1GB/s over 10G Ethernet.
Here's a $130 SSD with 500GB of storage: https://www.amazon.com/Mushkin-PILOT-500GB-Internal-MKNSSDPL...
That's 2600 MB/s read speeds. Or more than double your 10G Ethernet.
------------
RAID0 8 of them together with ASRock's M2. Quad Ultra, and you've got $1040 of SSDs + $200 for the 2x Quad Ultra cards, or just $1200 for 20GB/s read/write speeds. More than enough to saturate any network I'm aware of.
In fact, someone has already done this: http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/eight-nvme-m2-ssds-in-raid-...
They used a higher-end NVM.e SSD and measured 28GB/s (that's capital B, gigaBYTES) on the Threadripper + x399 motherboard.
