Question
Do "Storage Optimized" managed MongoDB databases run on NVMe's?

Asked by IljaAsimetriq
I was diving deep into MongoDB documentation and found a mention of using NVMe’s that was suggested for achieving much much higher throughputs. I saw a blog post about Storage Optimized droplets that run NVMs, but wasn’t able to find any confirmation if this is indeed what “Storage Optimized” managed databases use as well?

Hi there,
Yes, you are correct. The Storage-Optimized nodes are using NVMe SSDs.
You can find the documentation about this here:
