Reads will scale up (on a cluster basis, individual clients might not benefit as much) linearly with each additional "device" (host/OSD). Writes will scale up with each additional device divided by replica size. Fun fact, if you have 1 node with replica 1 and add 2 more identical nodes and increase the replica to 3, your write performance will be less than 50% of the single node. Once you add a 4th node, write speed will increase again.
