What is Block storage?
Block storage is a type of data storage architecture where data is stored in fixed-sized blocks.
Each block is assigned a unique identifier and can be directly accessed by the operating system or application, enabling fast and efficient read and write operations.
How to manage block storage?
You can manage block storage using the Serverspace control panel or API. In the server settings in the control panel, you can add and delete volumes (up to 4 additional volumes can be created).
The Serverspace API allows you to perform any actions, including creating, mounting, disconnecting, and obtaining information about a volume.
What is the difference between block storage and object storage?
In block storage, files are partitioned and placed in fixed-sized blocks. Each block has a location identifier, which is used to organize access through the SAN storage network.
Object storage stores unstructured data. Files here do not use a hierarchy and are stored as objects, each with its own identifier. In this case you can directly access the data.
Are storage fees charged when the server is shut down?
Yes, when the server is turned off, the dedicated SSD storage is still reserved for you. Therefore, you will continue to be charged until you remove the resources.
Can I change the size of block storage?
Yes, you can can increase the storage size up to 1 TB any time you need.
