Hi I am trying to create a Pod with a fast NVME disk by selecting NVME under the "Disk type" filter, but I'm only getting a meager 250 MB/s when testing it!
Tried with two different pods, same result:

root@977ad8b1262a:/# dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=1G count=1 oflag=dsync; rm testfile
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 5.34872 s, 201 MB/s
