[bitfolk] Archival Storage

Hi users! I've been a happy Bitfolk customer for some time and now I'm looking at adding some more storage to my VPS. In the past I've always taken the 5GiB packages. This time I see that there is now Archival Storage in 50GiB packages. I've read the docs at https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Archive_storage but am writing here to see if anyone has any practical experience with these packages. Whatever I choose, I'll keep all my existing packages: I'm just looking to add new ones. Having been a Bitfolk customer for so long, am I correct in assuming that the disks that power these packages are similar technology to what my entire VPS ran on a few years ago? I'm definitely in two minds. I want the storage for IMAP... and as everyone knows, IMAP and RDBMS are all about the number of spindles. ...but if I only have a small handful of users (albeit ones who all have their phones connected almost all the time), would everything stick nicely in the page cache and spare me noticing the performance of the underlying storage? So, if anyone has any direct experience reports of the performance of Archival Storage, especially under an IMAP workload, I'd love to hear them! Thanks! (If I take the Archival Storage, I'll move my own mailbox first and try it out for a while. If I take the 5GiB package I'll just add it to the existing device and grow the volume.)
