Contabo VPS has offered options of choosing SSD and NVme. You can choose 100GB NVme or 400GB normal SSD.
Using dd command to test writing/reading speed on 1GB file for NVme:
dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 2.22976 s, 482 MB/s
Using dd to test reading/writing speed on 1GB file on SSD:
dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 7.27682 s, 148 MB/s
So, a quick result: the performance of a NVme disk on contabo server is roughly three times faster than a normal SSD.

I like the short and result-oriented comparison. I will definitely spin up my next VPS with NVMe storage.
