I would put networks above HDDs (depending on how many miles you need to send your emails)


Modern data center networks offer RTTs about 100x lower than hard drive latency, and comparable to local SSD. It depends, of course, how far over the network you're going, and how fast the other side responds, but <100us is very achievable.
