gollark: NVMe ones can do a few GB/s, though.
gollark: I'm not sure what that actually means for the write speed.
gollark: The average SSD can do writes that fast too.

gollark: `async function(username) { let result = await api.get('euw1', 'league.getLeagueEntriesForSummoner', 'MLR_5XD45pduq2iducsga00c4qi5sWqpaRkadd_E0fFhKXU') return result}` is a really longwinded way to write `api.get('euw1', 'league.getLeagueEntriesForSummoner', 'MLR_5XD45pduq2iducsga00c4qi5sWqpaRkadd_E0fFhKXU')`, by the way. async/await is just nice syntax for promises.
