+Azure Storage allows you to store block blob data in multiple access tiers within the same storage account. This ability allows data to be organized and stored more efficiently based on how often it's accessed. The following table contains information and recommendations about Azure Storage access tiers.
+
+| Tier    | Recommendation | Best practice |
+|---------|----------------|---------------|
+| Hot     | Useful for online data accessed or modified frequently. This tier has the highest storage costs, but the lowest access costs. | Data in this tier should be in regular and active use. |
+| Cool    | Useful for online data accessed or modified infrequently. This tier has lower storage costs and higher access costs than the hot tier. | Data in this tier should be stored for at least 30 days. |
+| Cold    | Useful for online data accessed or modified rarely but still requiring fast retrieval. This tier has lower storage costs and higher access costs than the cool tier.| Data in this tier should be stored for a minimum of 90 days. |
+| Archive | Useful for offline data rarely accessed and having lower latency requirements. | Data in this tier should be stored for a minimum of 180 days. Data removed from the archive tier within 180 days is subject to an early deletion charge. |
+
+For more information about blob access tiers, see [Access tiers for blob data](../storage/blobs/access-tiers-overview.md). For more detailed best practices, see [Best practices for using blob access tiers](../storage/blobs/access-tiers-best-practices.md).
+
+You can transfer your block blob data to the appropriate access tier by copying it to the corresponding folder within Data Box. This process is discussed in greater detail within the [Copy data to Azure Data Box](#copy-data-to-disks) section.
