Block Storage tiers
UpCloud offers multiple storage tiers for different use cases.
MaxIOPS
MaxIOPS® is our in-house developed storage technology that enables read performance of up to 100k IOPS at 4k block size. It’s offered as the default storage tier for all Cloud Servers. MaxIOPS provides the same performance level regardless of storage device size or plan pricing.
HDD
HDD storage is the alternative to MaxIOPS when capacity and cost-effectiveness are more important than performance. It uses the same redundancy-ensured technology as our proprietary MaxIOPS storage but with high-capacity HDD devices for low-cost storage.
