High-performance NVMe Gen4 block volumes with up to 1 million IOPS and sub-millisecond latency. Attach, detach, resize, and snapshot without taking your workload offline.
Enterprise-grade features available on every volume, from 10 GB to 10 TB.
PCIe Gen4 NVMe drives deliver up to 1 million IOPS and 16 GB/s sustained throughput — the same hardware that powers our bare-metal servers. Ideal for latency-sensitive databases and analytics.
Attach a volume to a running server and it appears as a block device within seconds — no reboot required. Detach cleanly while the server stays online. Essential for rolling deployments and live migrations.
Crash-consistent snapshots complete in under 5 seconds, regardless of volume size. Data is captured atomically at the block level. Snapshots are stored separately and do not impact volume IOPS.
Expand a volume while it is live and mounted. Use standard OS tools (resize2fs, xfs_growfs) after the API call completes. No unmounting, no downtime, no data migration required.
Attach a single NVMe volume to up to 3 servers simultaneously. Enables shared storage for clustered databases, distributed file systems, and HA applications without a dedicated NAS appliance.
All volumes are encrypted at rest using AES-256 with LUKS-compatible key management. Encryption is transparent — no performance penalty, no application changes required. BYOK via Vault integration available.
Choose the performance tier that matches your workload. All types support snapshots, encryption, and online resize.

Block volumes power every type of stateful workload from databases to ML inference.
MySQL and PostgreSQL on NVMe Performance volumes achieve sub-millisecond query times. Snapshot before every migration. Resize as your data grows.
Kubernetes PersistentVolumeClaims backed by block volumes. Hot-attach during pod scheduling, retain data across pod restarts and node failures.
Transcode video and process high-resolution images with raw block I/O. Attach large scratch volumes, process in memory + NVMe, then archive the output to Object Storage.
Store model checkpoints and training logs on fast NVMe. Share model weights across GPU nodes using Multi-Attach. Snapshot before each experiment for reproducible results.
Create an account, spin up a server, and attach an NVMe volume in under 2 minutes.
