* **Whole file streaming workloads:** Examples include post-production media rendering of media repositories, high-performance computing suites such as those seen in computer-aided engineering/design suites (for example, computational fluid dynamics), oil and gas suites, and machine learning fine-tuning frameworks. A hallmark of this type of workload is larger files read or written in a continuous manner. For these workloads, storage throughput is the most critical attribute as it has the biggest impact on time to completion. Latency sensitivity is common here as workloads typically use a fixed amount of concurrency, thus throughput is determined by latency. Workloads typical of post-production are latency sensitive to the degree that framerate is only achieved when specific latency values are met. Both Azure NetApp Files regular volumes and Azure NetApp Files large volumes are appropriate for these workloads, with large volumes providing [more capacity](azure-netapp-files-resource-limits.md) and [higher file count possibilities](maxfiles-concept.md).
