I remember reading articles about how 3G connectivity was going to transform performance and, more generally, the way we used the internet altogether. I remember how, later on, a common question I would get in after giving performance-focused presentations was: “Is any of this going to matter when 4G is available?”

Storage mount points in a system might be larger or smaller, local or remote, with high or low latency, and various speeds. Storage and network transfer of files is a measurable cost. For example: All subfolders of the /opt directory are mounted as local, low latency, high-throughput drives, with relatively low storage capacity.
