 ### Storage accounts
 
-A storage account provides a unique namespace in Azure for your data. Every object that you store in Azure Storage has an address that includes your unique account name. The combination of the account name and the Azure Storage blob endpoint forms the base address for the objects in your storage account.
+A storage account provides a unique namespace in Azure for your data. Every object that you store in Azure Storage has an address that includes your unique account name. The combination of the account name and the Blob Storage endpoint forms the base address for the objects in your storage account.
 
 For example, if your storage account is named *mystorageaccount*, then the default endpoint for Blob storage is:
 
 ```
 http://mystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net
 ```

+
+| Type of storage account | Performance tier | Usage |
+|--|--|--|
+| General-purpose v2 | Standard | Standard storage account type for blobs, file shares, queues, and tables. Recommended for most scenarios using Blob Storage or one of the other Azure Storage services. |
+| Block blob | Premium | Premium storage account type for block blobs and append blobs. Recommended for scenarios with high transaction rates or that use smaller objects or require consistently low storage latency.
