Explanation

For performance-critical applications, use Hyperdisk Extreme if Extreme Persistent Disk isn't supported or doesn't provide enough performance. Hyperdisk Extreme disks feature higher maximum IOPS and throughput along with low sub-millisecond latencies, and offer high performance for the most demanding workloads, such as high performance databases. https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/hyperdisks#:~:text=Hyperdisk%20Extreme%20disk s%20feature%20higher,such%20as%20high%20performance%20databases.
