+# Azure Block Blob storage performance tiers
+
+As enterprises deploy performance sensitive cloud-native applications, it's important to have options for cost-effective data storage at different performance levels.
+
+Azure block blob storage offers two different performance tiers:
+
+- Premium: optimized for high transaction rates and single-digit consistent storage latency
+- Standard: optimized for high capacity and high throughput
+
+The following considerations apply to the different performance tiers:
+
+- Standard performance is available in all [Azure regions](https://azure.microsoft.com/global-infrastructure/services/?products=storage). Premium performance is available in [select regions](https://azure.microsoft.com/global-infrastructure/services/?products=storage).
+- Premium performance provides optimized pricing for applications with high transaction rates to help [lower total storage cost](https://azure.microsoft.com/blog/reducing-overall-storage-costs-with-azure-premium-blob-storage/) for these workloads.
+- Premium performance requires using block blob storage accounts, which support block blob and append blob.
+- Standard performance is available with General Purpose v1, General Purpose v2, and Blob storage accounts.
+- Premium and standard performance both support [high throughput block blobs](https://azure.microsoft.com/blog/high-throughput-with-azure-blob-storage/). High throughput block blobs are available for premium performance at greater than 256 KiB. High throughput block blobs are available for standard performance at greater than 4 MiB Put Block or Put Blob sizes.
+- Premium performance is currently available with locally redundant storage (LRS) only.
+
+## Premium performance
+
+Premium performance block blob storage makes data available via high-performance hardware. Data is stored on solid-state drives (SSDs) which are optimized for low latency. SSDs provide higher throughput compared to traditional hard drives.
+
+Premium performance block blob storage is ideal for workloads that require fast and consistent response times. It's best for workloads that perform many small transactions.
+
+## Standard performance
+
+Standard performance supports different [access tiers](storage-blob-storage-tiers.md) to store data in the most cost-effective manner. It's optimized for high capacity and high throughput on large data sets.
+
+## Blob lifecycle management
+
+Blob Storage lifecycle management offers a rich, rule-based policy:
+
+- Premium - expire data at the end of its lifecycle
+- Standard - transition data to the best access tier and expire data at the end of its lifecycle
+
+To learn more, see [Manage the Azure Blob storage lifecycle](storage-lifecycle-management-concepts.md).
+
+Data that's stored in a premium block blob storage account can't be moved between hot, cool, and archive tiers. However, you can copy blobs from a block blob storage account to the hot access tier in a *different* account. Use the [Put Block From URL](/rest/api/storageservices/put-block-from-url) API or [AzCopy v10](../common/storage-use-azcopy-v10.md) to copy data to a different account. The **Put Block From URL** API synchronously copies data on the server. The call completes only after all the data is moved from the original server location to the destination location.
