That's true, but we need to prioritize performance and latency over cost in this case.

But wouldn't Ultra disk be more cost-effective in the long run?

I'm just imagining the database administrator trying to fit 1.8 TB of data on a standard HDD. Talk about a 'standard' nightmare!

I bet the 'ultra' in 'Ultra disk' stands for 'ultra expensive'. Premium SSD is probably the best combo of performance and cost-effectiveness.

Standard HDD? Are you kidding me? That's way too slow for 60,000 IOPS. This is a serious database, not a grandma's photo album!

Hmm, I'm not sure. Ultra disk sounds really high-performance, but it might be overkill and super expensive. Maybe Standard SSD is a good balance?

Yeah, Ultra disk might be too expensive for our needs. Standard SSD sounds like a good choice.

I think Premium SSD is the way to go. It provides the high IOPS and low latency needed, and the cost is worth it for a critical database like this.
