## Underlying hardware
23-
24-
- **Block Storage 5K IOPS volumes**:
25-
26-
- They are built using older-generation SSDs. This means that the hardware is slower, as it uses older SSD technology.
27-
- The 5K IOPS is split between read and write operations, resulting in a total of 10K IOPS (5K for reads and 5K for writes).
28-
29-
- **Block Storage 5K IOPS volumes**:
30-
31-
- They are powered by modern NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) disks.
32-
- NVMe technology provides better performance and is optimized for high-speed storage operations.
33-

## Performance
35-
36-
- **Block Storage 5K IOPS volumes**:
37-
38-
- Their performance is limited by the older SSD hardware, which can result in slower data access and higher latency.
39-
- The older technology may impact overall speed and responsiveness.
40-
41-
- **Block Storage 5K IOPS volumes**:
42-
43-
- Delivers better performance thanks to NVMe disks, which handle 5K IOPS for both read and write operations combined.
44-
- This provides a significant boost in data processing speed and efficiency.
45-
46-
## Latency
47-
48-
- **Block Storage 5K IOPS volumes**:
49-
50-
- Higher latency due to the use of older SSDs.
51-
- This can lead to slower application response times, especially in scenarios requiring rapid data access.
52-
53-
- **Block Storage 5K IOPS volumes**:
54-
55-
- Offers lower latency and faster access times, making it ideal for applications that require quick data retrieval.
56-
- The use of NVMe technology ensures a smoother and more responsive experience.
