Are the SSDs on these located in the servers that the DBs run on, or do they live on a separate SAN?

I ask, as at a previous job, we used to run our Postgres DBs on raw Droplets, and we'd get awesome performance on disk bandwidth (which we really needed), so much so that if we'd have moved to AWS we'd have had to pay very significant $$$ for provisioned IOPS to get the same bandwidth.

It'd be awesome if that same performance/price ratio was available with these new managed DBs.

Managed Databases are built on top of our core compute platform which use local SSD's. You should get that same awesome performance!
