No. DO doesn't provide a remote block storage solution, only local disks where your data is much more likely to be lost if the machine fails and also much slower to back up and awkward to manage. Local SSD storage has been around for years and hardly represents innovation. The only thing DO did was slice local SSD drives into tiny slivers for customers which means you're sharing a drive with many other customers on the same box, some of which will be furiously scrubbing their disks when they destroy the droplet.
