 When you upload data, your client divides that data into blocks and uploads each block individually. Each block that is upload is billed as a _write_ operation. A final write operation is needed to assemble blocks into a blob that is stored in the account. The number of write operations required to upload a blob depends on the size of each block. **8 MiB** is the default block size for uploads to the Blob Service endpoint (`blob.core.windows.net`) and that size is configurable. **4 MiB** is the block size for uploads to the Data Lake Storage endpoint (`dfs.core.windows.net`) and that size isn't configurable. A smaller block size performs better because blocks can upload in parallel. However, the cost is higher because more write operations are required to upload a blob.
 
-Using the [Sample prices](#sample-prices) that appear in this article, and assuming an **8-MiB** block size, the following table estimates the cost to upload **1000** blobs that are each **5 MiB** in size to the hot tier.

 Utilities such as AzCopy also use list operations and operations to obtain blob properties. As a proportion of the overall bill, these charges are relatively small. For examples, see [Estimate the cost to download](azcopy-cost-estimation.md#the-cost-to-download).
