There are five disk types of Azure managed disks: Azure Ultra Disks, Premium SSD v2, premium SSD, Standard SSD, and Standard HDD. You can easily switch between Premium SSD, Standard SSD, and Standard HDD based on your performance needs. Premium SSD and Standard SSD are also available with [Zone-redundant storage](disks-redundancy.md#zone-redundant-storage-for-managed-disks). You can't yet switch from or to an Ultra Disk or a Premium SSD v2, you must deploy a new one with a snapshot of an existing disk. See [Migrate to Premium SSD v2 or Ultra Disk](#migrate-to-premium-ssd-v2-or-ultra-disk) for details.

This functionality isn't supported for unmanaged disks. But you can easily convert an unmanaged disk to a managed disk with [CLI](linux/convert-unmanaged-to-managed-disks.md) or [PowerShell](windows/convert-unmanaged-to-managed-disks.md) to be able to switch between disk types.

## Convert Premium SSD v2 disks (preview)
31
+
As a public preview, you can switch existing disks to Premium SSD v2 disks the same way you do for other disk types. Use [this survey](https://aka.ms/SeamlessMigrationCustomerSurvey) to sign up for the preview. Premium SSD v2 disks have some limitations, see the [Premium SSD v2 limitations](disks-deploy-premium-v2.md#limitations) section of their article to learn more.

The preview allowing direct switching to Premium SSD v2 disks has some additional limitations and regional restrictions:
34
+
35
+
- You can't switch an OS disk to a Premium SSD v2 disk.
36
+
- Existing disks can only be directly switched to 512 sector size Premium SSD v2 disks.
37
+
- You can only perform 40 conversions at the same time per subscription per region.
38
+
- If your existing disk is a shared disk, you must detach all VMs before changing to Premium SSD v2.
39
+
- If your existing disk is using host caching, you must [set it to none](#disable-host-caching) before changing to Premium SSD v2.
40
+
- If your existing disk is using bursting, you must [disable it](#disable-bursting) before changing to Premium SSD v2.
41
+
- If your existing disk is using double encryption, you must [switch to one of the single encryption options](#disable-double-encryption) before changing to Premium SSD v2.
42
+
- You can't directly switch from a Premium SSD v2 to another disk type. If you want to change a Premium SSD v2 to another disk type, you must migrate using [snapshots](#migrate-to-premium-ssd-v2-or-ultra-disk-using-snapshots).

### Disable host caching
61
+
62
+
If your disk is using host caching, you must disable it before converting to Premium SSD v2. You can use the following CLI script to identify your disk's LUN and disable host caching. Replace `yourResourceGroup` and `nameOfYourVM` with your own values, then run the script.
63
+
64
+
```azurecli
65
+
$myRG="yourResourceGroup"
66
+
$myVM="nameOfYourVM"
67
+
68
+
lun=$(az vm show -g $myRG -n $myVM --query "storageProfile.dataDisks[].lun")
69
+
70
+
az vm update --resource-group $myRG --name $myVM --disk-caching $lun=None
71
+
```
72
+
73
+
### Disable bursting
74
+
75
+
If your disk is using bursting, you must disable it before converting to Premium SSD v2. If you enabled bursting within 12 hours, you have to wait until the 13th hour or later to disable it.
76
+
77
+
You can use the following command to disable disk bursting: `az disk update --name "yourDiskNameHere" --resource-group "yourRGNameHere" --enable-bursting false`
78
+
79
+
### Disable double encryption
80
+

If your disk is using double encryption, you must disable it before converting to Premium SSD v2. You can use the following command to change your disk from double encryption to encryption at rest with customer-managed keys:

This example shows how to convert all of a VM's disks to premium storage. However, by changing the $storageType variable in this example, you can convert the VM's disks type to standard SSD or standard HDD. To use Premium managed disks, your VM must use a [VM size](sizes.md) that supports Premium storage. This example also switches to a size that supports premium storage:
Currently, you can only migrate an existing disk to either a Premium SSD v2 or an Ultra Disk through snapshots stored on Standard Storage (Incremental Standard HDD Snapshot). Migration with snapshots stored on Premium storage and other options isn't supported. Migration via snapshot from Premium SSD v2 or Ultra Disk to Premium SSD v1, Standard SSD and Standard HDD is not supported.
> As a public preview, you can change the type of an existing disk to a Premium SSD v2 disk the same way you'd for other disk types. To sign up for the preview see [Premium SSD v2 migration (preview)](#convert-premium-ssd-v2-disks-preview).
