Usually Google applications uses high level network storage services like collosus, BigTable or spanner and these high level services are backed by dedicated storage appliances where they bypass the kernel for SSDs and use direct block IO for slow disks. For network, they are moving towards userspace network [1].

In addition, Google has completely removed local storage from their servers, so there is no disk I/O at all.
