I'd suggest NVMe as a target.  It's readily available, both as real
hardware and in (eg) qemu.  The spec is freely available, and most devices
come pretty close to conforming to the spec until you start to push hard
at the edges.  Also then you can do performance tests and see where you
might want to focus performance efforts.
