Data-bearing members face a higher risk of encountering issues caused by rollbacks, compared to others who utilize different storage methods. This particular write concern prioritizes data longevity over reading speed. The files look something like this: <dbname> <collectionname> 2016-02-08T19-34-44.0.bson

You will need SQL Server 2016 (or later) and Developer Edition (or equivalent) to reproduce the results shown here. This table uses columnstore for its primary storage to produce batch mode execution later on. Batch mode execution is all about speed. You might call this arrangement "off-row" or "out-of-batch" storage.
