It isn't. Their SSDs have shitty performance for 4k random writes.
That's the entire point of their product. They reorder the data,
turning random 4k writes into aligned eraseblock-sized writes. After
that reordering the performance goes way up. Iirc at least one SSD they
used must have 1MB erasesize to explain the performance boost.
