151 | 147 | Reservations are made in the form of disks, not capacity. In other words, when you reserve a P80 (32 TiB) disk, you get a single P80 disk, you cannot then divide that specific reservation up into two smaller P70 (16 TiB) disks. You can, of course, reserve as many or as few disks as you like, including two separate P70 (16 TiB) disks.

| -**How is Azure disk reservation applied?** |
154 |
| -Disks reservation follows a model similar to reserved virtual machine (VM) instances. The difference being that a disk reservation cannot be applied to different SKUs, while a VM instance can. See [Save costs with Azure Reserved VM Instances](../articles/virtual-machines/linux/prepay-reserved-vm-instances.md) for more information on VM instances. |
