Some early benchmarks about the new block storage, https://simos.info/blog/trying-out-lxd-containers-on-ubuntu-...

I did not get good speeds and I am wondering why that may be...

> The immediate benefits are that the latency is much lower with the new block storage

I think you might have misread the units: locally attached 50105 us (50 ms) vs block 546 ms.

The throughput numbers are on par with AWS and GCP block storage. This seems reasonable aside from the high latency.
