+### Does Hyperdrive support connecting to D1 databases?
+
+Hyperdrive does not support [D1](/d1) because D1 provides fast connectivity from Workers by design.
+
+Hyperdrive is designed to speed up connectivity to traditional, regional SQL databases.
+Unlike D1, creating a secure database connection to a traditional SQL database
+involves multiple round trips between the client (your Worker) and your database server.

+and how Hyperdrive solves this.
+
+D1 does not require round trips to create database connections. D1 is designed to be performant for access from Workers by default, without needing Hyperdrive.
