Yes, I don't have enough info on if object storage speed is comparable or not to SSD or HDD persistent disks. So I went the "cheap" way and compared with HDD. If you wanted to use SDD, it'd be even more expensive.
On the other hand, GCS disks are implemented on top of Google's object storage, so the IOPs you can get are quite impressive, especially at the larger single volume sizes. But the big impact for me is that GCS is multi-regionally replicated, which means I can read and write to it from multiple geo locations.
