Premium SSD Managed Disks

Premium SSD Managed Disks are high performance Solid State Drive (SSD) based Storage designed to support I/O intensive workloads with significantly high throughput and low latency. With Premium SSD Managed Disks, you can provision a persistent disk and configure its size and performance characteristics.

The total cost of Premium SSD Managed Disks depends on the size and number of the disks, and will be affected by the number of outbound data transfers . These disk sizes provide different input/output operations per sec (IOPS), throughput caps, and monthly price per GiB. You choose the option that best meets your required storage size, IOPS, and throughput. Attach several persistent disks to a VM and you can configure up to PBs of storage per VM, and achieve 80,000 input/output operations per second, and 1,600 MB per second disk throughput per VM at less than one millisecond latency for read operations (for applications which can take advantage of read caching). Premium SSD Managed Disks are supported by DS-series, DSv2-series, FS-series, and GS-series VM sizes which are specifically targeted for Premium SSD Managed Disks. When using Azure Shared Disks on Premium SSD Managed Disks, each additional mount of the managed disk is charged per month based on the disk size.

Snapshots

You can store full snapshots and images for Premium SSDs on Standard storage. You can choose between locally redundant (LRS) and zone redundant (ZRS) snapshot options. These snapshots and images are charged at ¥0.3/GB per month for both Standard LRS and ZRS options based on the used portion of the disk. For example, if you create a snapshot of a managed disk with provisioned capacity of 64 GB and actual used data size of 10 GB, snapshot will be billed only for the used data size of 10 GB. If you choose to store them on Premium SSDs Managed Disk storage, you’ll be charged at ¥2.338/GB for LRS or ¥0.318/GB for ZRS per month.

You can store incremental snapshots for Premium SSDs only on Standard storage. They are charged at ¥0.3/GB per month for both Standard LRS and ZRS snapshot options of the storage occupied by the delta changes since the last snapshot. For example, you are using a managed disk with provisioned size of 128 GB and used size of 100 GB. The first incremental snapshot is billed only for the used size of 100 GB. 20 GB of data is added on the disk before you created the second snapshot. Now, the second incremental snapshot is billed for only 20 GB.

Bursting

For P20 disks and smaller, credit-based bursting is enabled by default with no additional costs. You can boost your performance up to 3,500 IOPS and 170 MB/s for up to 30 min to handle spiky traffic, process batch jobs, and improve boot times.

For P30 disks and larger, you will be charged a monthly enablement fee of¥248.5 to enable on-demand bursting and a burst transaction fee of¥0.05056 per 10,000 IOs for additional IOPS. You can boost your performance up to 30,000 IOPS and 1,000 MB/s at any point in time. For example, if you provision a P30 disk with 5,000 IOPS and you burst to 30,000 IOPS for 5 seconds, you will be charged an enablement fee to enable the bursting feature as well as a burst transaction fee for the additional 25,000 X 5 = 125,000 IOs. If you burst your throughput above the provisioned amount, you will also be charged a burst transaction fee for the additional throughput.

Besides, Azure Managed Disk Reservation helps you lower your disk storage cost by committing to one-year of Premium SSD Managed Disk capacity. Reserved capacity can be purchased in increments of 1 disk unit for 1-year commitment duration. All prices are per month. For more information, please see Azure Disks FAQ .

Ultra Disk is billed based on the provisioned size, provisioned IOPS and provisioned throughput. Azure maps the provisioned size (rounded up) to the nearest disk size offer. Each disk is billed accordingly on an hourly basis. For example, if you provisioned a 200 GiB Ultra Disk, with 20,000 IOPS and 1,000 MB/second and deleted it after 20 hours, it will map to the disk size offer of 256 GiB and you'll be billed for the 256 GiB, 20,000 IOPS and 1,000 MB/second for 20 hours. This is regardless of the amount of actual data and number of IOs written to the disk.

There is no charge per mount for shared Ultra Disks. You are charged for the capacity and total IOPS and throughput on the disk. For more details, refer to the shared disk documentation .

Ultra Disk only supports locally redundant storage (LRS). Please refer to Azure Storage replication page for more details on redundancy options.

Managed disks are only available for Locally Redundant Storage (LRS). Please refer to Azure Storage replication page for more details on redundancy options.

Locally Redundant Storage (LRS)

Create multiple synchronous copies of data in a Data Center.
