Each of the following storage options has unique price and performance characteristics:</p> <ul> <li><a href="#hyperdisks">Google Cloud Hyperdisk</a> volumes are network storage for Compute Engine, with configurable performance and volumes that can be dynamically resized. They offer substantially higher performance, flexibility and efficiency compared to Persistent Disk. Hyperdisk Balanced High Availability (<a href="/products#product-launch-stages">Preview</a>) can synchronously replicate data between disks located in two zones, providing protection if a zone becomes unavailable.</li> <li><a href="#storage_pools">Hyperdisk Storage Pools</a> enable you to purchase Hyperdisk capacity and performance in aggregate and then create disks for your VMs from this pool of storage. </li> <li>Persistent Disk volumes provide high-performance and redundant network storage. Each Persistent Disk volume is <a href="https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_striping" class="external">striped</a> across hundreds of physical disks. <ul> <li>By default, VMs use <a href="#pdspecs">zonal Persistent Disk</a>, and store your data on volumes located within a single zone, such as <code translate="no" dir="ltr">us-west1-c</code>.</li> <li>You can also create <a href="#repds">regional Persistent Disk volumes</a>, which synchronously replicate data between disks located in two zones and provide protection if a zone becomes unavailable.</li> </ul></li> <li><a href="#localssds">Local SSD disks</a> are physical drives attached directly to the same server as your VM. They can offer better performance, but are ephemeral.</li> </ul> <p>For cost comparisons, see <a href="/compute/disks-image-pricing#disk">disk pricing</a>. If you are not sure which option to use, for earlier generation machine series, the most common solution is to <a href="/compute/docs/disks/add-persistent-disk">add a Balanced Persistent Disk volume</a> to your VM and for the latest machine series, <a href="/compute/docs/disks/add-hyperdisk">add a Hyperdisk volume</a> to your compute instance.</p> <p>In addition to block storage, Compute Engine offers file and object storage options. To review and compare the storage options, see <a href="/architecture/storage-advisor#review_the_storage_options">Review the storage options</a>.</p> <h2 id="introduction" data-text="Introduction" tabindex="-1">Introduction</h2> <p>By default, each Compute Engine VM has a single boot disk that contains the operating system.

If you create a disk using the gcloud CLI or the Compute Engine API, the default disk type is <code translate="no" dir="ltr">pd-standard</code>.</p> <p>For information about machine type support, refer to the following:</p> <ul> <li><a href="/compute/docs/disks/performance#machine-type-disk-limits">Zonal Persistent Disk</a></li> <li><a href="/compute/docs/disks/regional-persistent-disk#restrictions">Regional Persistent Disk</a></li> </ul> <h3 id="durability" data-text="Durability of Persistent Disk" tabindex="-1">Durability of Persistent Disk</h3> <p>Disk durability represents the probability of data loss, by design, for a typical disk in a typical year, using a set of assumptions about hardware failures, the likelihood of catastrophic events, isolation practices and engineering processes in Google data centers, and the internal encodings used by each disk type. Persistent Disk data loss events are extremely rare and have historically been the result of coordinated hardware failures, software bugs, or a combination of the two. Google also takes many steps to mitigate the industry-wide risk of <a href="https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/10759085">silent data corruption</a>.

The aggregate amount of performance of all disks in the storage pool can't exceed the total provisioned IOPS or throughput of the storage pool.</p></dd> <dt>Advanced performance provisioning</dt> <dd><p>Storage pools with Advanced performance provisioning leverage thin-provisioning to increase your performance efficiency and lower your block storage performance TCO. Advanced performance provisioning lets you share a pool of provisioned performance across all disks in a storage pool. The storage pool dynamically allocates performance resources as the disks in the storage pool read and write data. Only the amount of IOPS and throughput used by a disk in the storage pool consumes storage pool IOPS and throughput. Because Advanced performance storage pools are thinly provisioned, you can allocate more IOPS or throughput to the disks in the storage pool than you have provisioned for the storage pool—up to 500% of the IOPS or throughput provisioned for the storage pool. Similar to Standard performance, you are billed for the storage pool provisioned IOPS and throughput.</p> <p>In a Hyperdisk Balanced Storage Pool with Advanced performance provisioning, the disks don't have baseline performance. Every read and write operation of a Hyperdisk Balanced disk in the storage pool consumes pool resources.</p> <p>When the aggregate performance utilization of all the disks in the storage pool reaches the total amount of performance provisioned for the storage pool, the disks can face performance contention. As a result, Advanced performance provisioning is best suited for workloads that don't have highly correlated peak usage times. If your workloads all peak at the same time, the Advanced performance storage pool can reach the performance limits of the storage pool, resulting in contention for performance resources.</p> <p>If contention for performance resources is detected in an Advanced performance storage pool for any disks in the pools, then the auto-grow feature attempts to automatically increase the IOPS or throughput available to disks in the storage pool to prevent performance issues.</p> <aside class="caution"><strong>Caution:</strong><span> Even though the auto-grow feature is always enabled, the ability to add performance to a storage pool might not succeed if there is insufficient quota remaining, or if the zone doesn't have sufficient resources to meet the performance increase request. While Compute Engine can assist in keeping the available performance of disks in a storage pool within safe limits, you should actively manage the IOPS and throughput usage of your storage pools.</span></aside></dd> </dl> <p> <strong>Example</strong> <p>Assume that you have a Hyperdisk Balanced Storage Pool with 100,000 provisioned IOPS.</p> <p>With Standard performance provisioning:</p> <ul> <li>You can provision up to 100,000 of aggregate IOPS when creating Hyperdisk Balanced disks in the storage pool.</li> <li>You are charged for the 100,000 IOPS of Hyperdisk Balanced Storage Pool provisioned performance.</li> <li><p>Like disks created outside of a storage pool, Hyperdisk Balanced disks in Standard performance storage pools are automatically provisioned with up to 3,000 baseline IOPS and 140 MiB/s of baseline throughput. This baseline performance isn't counted against the provisioned performance for the storage pool. Only when you add disks to the storage pool with provisioned performance that's above the baseline does it count against the provisioned performance for the storage pool, for example:</p> <ul> <li>A disk provisioned with 3,000 IOPS uses 0 pool IOPS and the pool still has 100,000 provisioned IOPS available for other disks.</li> <li>A disk provisioned with 13,000 IOPS uses 10,000 pool IOPS and the pool has 90,000 provisioned IOPS remaining that you can allocate to other disks in the storage pool. </li> </ul></li> </ul> <p>With Advanced performance provisioning:</p> <ul> <li>You can provision up to 500,000 IOPS of aggregate Hyperdisk performance when creating disks in the storage pool.</li> <li>You are charged for 100,000 IOPS provisioned by the storage pool.</li> <li>If you create a single disk (<code translate="no" dir="ltr">Disk1</code>) in the storage pool that has 5,000 IOPS, you don't consume any IOPS from the storage pool provisioned IOPS. However, the amount of IOPS that you can provision to new disks created in the storage pool is now 495,000.</li> <li>If <code translate="no" dir="ltr">Disk1</code> starts to read and write data, and if it uses its maximum of 5,000 IOPS in a given minute, then 5,000 IOPS is consumed from the storage pool provisioned IOPS. Any other disks that you created in the same storage pool can use an aggregated maximum of 95,000 IOPS in that same minute without running into contention.</li> </ul> </p> <h3 id="changing_provisioned_capacity_and_performance" data-text="Changing Hyperdisk Storage Pool provisioned capacity and performance" tabindex="-1">Changing Hyperdisk Storage Pool provisioned capacity and performance</h3> <p>You can increase or decrease the provisioned capacity, IOPS, and throughput for your storage pool as your workloads scale.
