Is only counting IO ops the right thing to do for all solid state devices? Most solid state storage devices that I use (e.g. USB thumb drives, SD cards) seem to have some serious IO bandwidth bottlenecks. Are all IO ops of a fixed size for these devices, such that IO ops are proportional to bytes transferred? Or perhaps balancing IO between users is not an issue for "low performance" devices.

I suspect that in most cases thumb drives and SD cards are not used by multiple processes at once, and so are less interesting.
The interesting case is large SSD drives that replace spinning media.
