Disk performance

fio · direct I/O · sequential 1 MiB / QD8 · random 4 KiB / QD32.

Workload	Throughput	p95 latency
Sequential read	2,450 MB/s	5.0 ms
Sequential write	1,820 MB/s	6.2 ms
Random read	64,800 IOPS	0.92 ms
Random write	38,400 IOPS	1.54 ms
Random 70/30 mix	48,200 IOPS	1.30 ms

Read, write, and mixed workloads are represented separately. All values are synthetic.

Three instances describe this sample, not every server a provider operates.

A 24-hour test does not establish long-term reliability. Sample downloads contain synthetic values only.
