i was just curious so i tested this actually.

Using fio

Hetzner (cx23, 2vCPU, 4 GB) ~3900 IOPS (read/write) ~15.3 MB/s avg latency ~2.1 ms 99.9th percentile ≈ ~5 ms max ≈ ~7 ms

DigitalOcean (SFO1 / 2 GB RAM / 30 GB Disk) ~3900 IOPS (same!) ~15.7 MB/s (same!) avg latency ~2.1 ms (same!) 99.9th percentile ≈ ~18 ms max ≈ ~85 ms (!!)

using sequential dd

Hetzner: 1.9 GB/s DO: 850 MB/s

Using low end plan on both but this Hetzner is 4 euro and DO instance is $18.
