While a typical desktop workload may not induce anything near an IO depth
of 64, I still think several desktop applications accessing the disk at
once can have the Linux kernel block layer use an iodepth > 1 on the disk.
So maybe testing with I/O depth upto 10 or so make sense even for desktop
workloads.
