Do I need VirtIO (appears in the settings when creating a droplet)? How affects this option on system performance? Does it reduces the speed of the server?

csalinas, enabling VirtIO does not incur any extra charges. We recommend enabling it :]
You might need to disable VirtIO if you’re using a program that’s not compatible with it. Usually you’re fine with VirtIO enabled.
