Standard storage is suitable for all general purpose needs, from production workloads to long term cold storage. For high-performance requirements, we recommend our proprietary MaxIOPS technology. Read more about block storage tiers on our website.

All three block storage tiers, including the new Standard tier, are available at all UpCloud locations.

Additionally, we’ve upgraded the hardware for our HDD tier which we will be now renaming to Archive. New devices will be created on a more performant storage system, offering improved stability.

As before, devices from multiple storage tiers can be used on the same server, and each server supports a maximum of 16 storage devices. All block storage devices can be moved freely between servers within the same location.
