Hi Rafi,

That is true, but i2 offers direct-attached SSD which have higher throughput and better quality. See this related discussion thread: [Documentation on recommended setup for SSD Storage Engine on Amazon EC2?](https://discuss.aerospike.com/t/documentation-on-recommended-setup-for-ssd-storage-engine-on-amazon-ec2/331)

Other reasons we recommend i2 and r3 are stated in the recommendations section of the Amazon deployment article.
