Managed disks are like a physical disk in an on-premises server but, virtualized. With managed disks, all you have to do is specify the disk size, the disk type, and provision the disk. Once you provision the disk, Azure handles the rest.The available types of disks with flexible server are premium solid-state drives (SSD) and Premium SSD v2 and the pricing is calculated based on the compute, memory, and storage tier you provision.

 ## Premium SSD
 
-Azure Premium SSDs deliver high-performance and low-latency disk support for virtual machines (VMs) with input/output (IO)-intensive workloads. To take advantage of the speed and performance of Premium SSDs, you can migrate existing VM disks to Premium SSDs. Premium SSDs are suitable for mission-critical production applications, but you can use them only with compatible VM series. Premium SSDs support the 512E sector size.

 ## Premium SSD v2 (preview)
 
-Premium SSD v2 offers higher performance than Premium SSDs while also generally being less costly. You can individually tweak the performance (capacity, throughput, and IOPS) of Premium SSD v2 disks at any time, allowing workloads to be cost-efficient while meeting shifting performance needs. For example, a transaction-intensive database might need a large amount of IOPS at a small size, or a gaming application might need a large amount of IOPS but only during peak hours. Because of this, for most general-purpose workloads, Premium SSD v2 can provide the best price performance. You can now deploy Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server instances with Premium SSD v2 disk in limited regions.

 ### Differences between Premium SSD and Premium SSD v2
 
-Unlike Premium SSDs, Premium SSD v2 doesn't have dedicated sizes. You can set a Premium SSD v2 to any supported size you prefer, and make granular adjustments (1-GiB increments) as per your workload requirements. Premium SSD v2 doesn't support host caching but still provides significantly lower latency than Premium SSD. Premium SSD v2 capacities range from 1 GiB to 64 TiBs.

 #### Premium SSD v2 IOPS
 
-All Premium SSD v2 disks have a baseline of 3000 IOPS that is free of charge. After 6 GiB, the maximum IOPS a disk can have increases at a rate of 500 per GiB, up to 80,000 IOPS. So, an 8 GiB disk can have up to 4,000 IOPS, and a 10 GiB can have up to 5,000 IOPS. To be able to set 80,000 IOPS on a disk, that disk must have at least 160 GiBs. Increasing your IOPS beyond 3000 increases the price of your disk.

 ### Storage autogrow (Premium SSD)
 
-Storage autogrow can help ensure that your server always has enough storage capacity and doesn't become read-only. When you turn on storage autogrow, the storage will automatically expand without affecting the workload. Storage Autogrow is only supported for premium ssd storage tier. Premium SSD v2 does not support storage autogrow.
+Storage autogrow can help ensure that your server always has enough storage capacity and doesn't become read-only. When you turn on storage autogrow, disk size increases without affecting the workload. Storage Autogrow is only supported for Premium SSD storage tier. Premium SSD v2 doesn't support storage autogrow.
 
-For servers with more than 1 TiB of provisioned storage, the storage autogrow mechanism activates when the available space falls to less than 10% of the total capacity or 64 GiB of free space, whichever of the two values is smaller. Conversely, for servers with storage under 1 TiB, this threshold is adjusted to 20% of the available free space or 64 GiB, depending on which of these values is smaller.
+For servers with more than 1 TiB of provisioned storage, the storage autogrow mechanism activates when the available space falls to less than 10% of the total capacity or 64 GiB of free space, whichever of the two values are smaller. Conversely, for servers with storage under 1 TiB, this threshold is adjusted to 20% of the available free space or 64 GiB, depending on which of these values is smaller.
 
 As an illustration, take a server with a storage capacity of 2 TiB (greater than 1 TiB). In this case, the autogrow limit is set at 64 GiB. This choice is made because 64 GiB is the smaller value when compared to 10% of 2 TiB, which is roughly 204.8 GiB. In contrast, for a server with a storage size of 128 GiB (less than 1 TiB), the autogrow feature activates when there's only 25.8 GiB of space left. This activation is based on the 20% threshold of the total allocated storage (128 GiB), which is smaller than 64 GiB.
 
 The default behavior is to increase the disk size to the next premium SSD storage tier. This increase is always double in both size and cost, regardless of whether you start the storage scaling operation manually or through storage autogrow. Enabling storage autogrow is valuable when you're managing unpredictable workloads, because it automatically detects low-storage conditions and scales up the storage accordingly.
 
-The process of scaling storage is performed online without causing any downtime, except when the disk is provisioned at 4,096 GiB. This exception is a limitation of Azure Managed disks. If a disk is already 4,096 GiB, the storage scaling activity will not be triggered, even if storage auto-grow is turned on. In such cases, you need to scale your storage manually. Manual scaling is an offline operation that you should plan according to your business requirements.

Manual scaling is an offline operation that you should plan according to your business requirements.
 
 Remember that storage can only be scaled up, not down.
 
 ## Storage Autogrow Limitations and Considerations
 
 - Disk scaling operations are always online, except in specific scenarios that involve the 4,096-GiB boundary. These scenarios include reaching, starting at, or crossing the 4,096-GiB limit. An example is when you're scaling from 2,048 GiB to 8,192 GiB.
 
-- Host Caching (ReadOnly and Read/Write) is supported on disk sizes less than 4 TiB. This means any disk that is provisioned up to 4095 GiB can take advantage of Host Caching. Host caching isn't supported for disk sizes more than or equal to 4096 GiB. For example, a P50 premium disk provisioned at 4095 GiB can take advantage of Host caching and a P50 disk provisioned at 4096 GiB can't take advantage of Host Caching. Customers moving from lower disk size to 4096 GiB or higher will stop getting disk caching ability.

   This limitation is due to the underlying Azure Managed disk, which needs a manual disk scaling operation. You receive an informational message in the portal when you approach this limit.

 ## IOPS scaling
 
-Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server supports the provisioning of additional IOPS. This feature enables you to provision additional IOPS above the complimentary IOPS limit. Using this feature, you can increase or decrease the number of IOPS provisioned based on your workload requirements at any time.

 The minimum and maximum IOPS are determined by the selected compute size. To learn more about the minimum and maximum IOPS per compute size refer to the [compute size](concepts-compute.md).
