Given that low storage latency is critical for DBMS systems, even as DBMS, like SAP HANA, keep data in-memory. The critical path in storage is usually around the transaction log writes of the DBMS systems. But also operations like writing savepoints or loading data in-memory after crash recovery can be critical. Therefore, it is **mandatory** to leverage Azure Premium Disks for **/hana/data** and **/hana/log** volumes. In order to achieve the minimum throughput of **/hana/log** and **/hana/data** as desired by SAP, you need to build a RAID 0 using MDADM or LVM over multiple Azure Premium Storage disks. And use the RAID volumes as **/hana/data** and **/hana/log** volumes.
