-There are several types of Amazon S3 buckets. Before creating a bucket, make sure that you choose the bucket type that best fits your application and performance requirements. For more information about the various bucket types and the appropriate use cases for each, see [Buckets](./Welcome.html#BasicsBucket).
+There are two types of Amazon S3 buckets, general purpose buckets and directory buckets. Choose the bucket type that best fits your application and performance requirements:
+
+  * **General purpose buckets** are the original S3 bucket type and are recommended for most use cases and access patterns. General purpose buckets also allow objects that are stored across all storage classes, except S3 Express One Zone.
+
+  * **Directory buckets** use the S3 Express One Zone storage class, which is recommended if your application is performance sensitive and benefits from single-digit millisecond `PUT` and `GET` latencies, see [S3 Express One Zone](./directory-bucket-high-performance.html#s3-express-one-zone) and [Working with directory buckets](./directory-buckets-overview.html).
