EC2 Instance Store

 EBS volumes are network drives with good but limited performance.

If you need a high-performance hardware disk, use EC2 instance store(connected directly to instance instead of network drive)

better performance in I/O.

But when you will loose the storage if you stopped the EC2 instance and start again -- ephemeral storage

They are good for buffer/cache/scratch data/temporary content

Risk of data loss if hardware fails.

Backups and Replication are your responsibilty
