Input Output operations per second and queue depth....

Why do you care how big a queue is? You should only be worried about enqueuing and dequeuing from the queue.

As for IOPS that would highly depend on context of implementation.

Eh warper is still cool. I'll take it

Queue depth - Number of IO's awaiting action
IOPS - I/O Operations Per Seconds

For the same workload, a single SSD is always going to be faster than a single spindle. When the workload is 100% random, the SSD, having higher IOPS, process the requests faster than the spindle, which has to wait for the heads to move, causing the queue depth to increase.

A real world example of this is AD authentication with Exchange. At about 300MS, Exchange starts to delay. At 500MS connections start timing out. At 2000MS, connections are dropped.
