Either digital ocean actually has real SSd disks for each vm or something is deeply wrong.
A new VM should have a new disk file.
When I create a vm I create a vmdk file that represents the disk. When I delete the vm I also delete the vmdk file.
If I then create a new vm I would use a new vmdk file.
Apparently that is not the way digital ocean does things, but how do they do stuff then?

This was covered in the previous thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6983270 DO may not be using file-based storage because it is slower.
