Local disks

Local disks

The local disk is connected directly to the compute server via the PCIe interface via NVMe protocol. Therefore, the local disk can be create only with a cloud server and use it as a boot (system) disk.

The local disk has no network latency, so it is suitable for tasks that are sensitive to read and write speeds.

Local disk features⁠

  • SSD NVMe disk.
  • Performance — read 12800 IOPS, write 6400 IOPS.
  • Throughput is 300 MB/s.
  • The recommended maximum disk capacity is 2 TB.
  • The disk subsystem is configured in RAID 10.
  • Can only be a cloud server boot disk, not used as an additional disk. Only the following can be connected as additional disks network drives.
  • A cloud server can only have one local disk.
  • You cannot disconnect from the cloud server and connect to another server.
  • You can't increase directly, you can only change the cloud server configuration.
  • You cannot create another disk, snapshot, or backup from a local disk. You can disk imaging (for example, to quickly clone a server).
  • Deleted with all data when the cloud server is deleted.

Cost⁠

Local disks are charged at cloud platform payment models.

The cost of a local disk depends on its size and pool segment which creates a cloud server with this disk.

Each GB of local disks is paid for. The cost per GB can be viewed at servercore.com.
