Thanks but those are not what I am looking for. Linode and AWS run on VMs just like DO. The question is not SSD VM vs disk VM. It is SSD VM vs disk non-VM (real hardware).

Depending on the size of your existing DB and the workload getting a larger sized VM - 16+GB you should see significant performance improvement.

Because it's hourly you can spin up and test and if it doesn't suit your needs will be a minimal charge.

We also made a promo code : NEWSYC10 - so you can get a $10 credit to test with before incurring any charges.

iops are available on serverbear http://serverbear.com/9806/digitalocean

Thanks. This helps!
