I think we should add a new "Explanation" (the 4th diataxis category) section for this.

What considerations should users be aware of?

The problem: fsspec read-ahead is poorly optimized for geospatial data like the kind we expect users to use with earthaccess, because it expects data to be organized sequentially in the file. @betolink to provide more details!
