At Supabase, we're constantly working to provide developers with the tools they need to build powerful applications at scale. In our previous [blog post](https://supabase.com/blog/supabase-clickhouse-partnership#improved-disk-management) we mentioned a new type of high performance disk. Today, we’re here to tell you all about it.

With advanced disks you can store up to 60 TB of data with 100x improved durability, and provision up to 5x more IOPS than the default disks we offer.

## A Two-Pronged Approach to Disk Scalability
2220

23-
We've been tackling disk scalability from two angles. On the software side, our implementation of [Oriole DB's index-organized tables](https://www.orioledb.com/blog/orioledb-beta7-benchmarks) significantly reduces disk I/O operations, improving performance without additional hardware resources. However, this focus for this post is on our infrastructure improvements: the introduction of new disk options that allow advanced scaling for your Postgres databases.

## Expanded Capacity
2626

2727
One of the most significant improvements is our increased storage capacity. We've moved beyond our previous 16 TB limit, now offering up to 60 TB of storage for your largest databases. But with greater capacity comes the need for enhanced performance - particularly in how quickly your database can read and write data. This makes IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) especially important.
2828

To address these needs, we’re introducing high performance disks. These high performance disks can handle up to 80,000 IOPS - a 5x increase from the 16,000 IOPS limit of our general purpose disks.

## Understanding Performance: IOPS and Throughput
3232

3333
IOPS is a critical metric that measures how many read and write operations your database can perform each second. Think of it as the "speed limit" for your database's ability to access stored data. Higher IOPS means faster database operations, which translates to better application performance, especially for data-intensive workloads.
3434

35-
Throughput, measured in MiB/s (Mebibytes per second), is equally important as it determines how much total data can flow through your disk at once. While IOPS tells you how many individual read/write operations can happen per second, throughput determines the total volume of data that can be moved. With our general purpose disks, you start with a baseline throughput of 125 MiB/s, which can be provisioned up to 1,000 MiB/s. Our new high performance disks automatically scale throughput with IOPS, providing better performance for data-intensive workloads.

Effective throughput and IOPS also depends on your compute instance size. You can check out our [compute and disk documentation](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/platform/compute-and-disk#compute-size) for more detail.

## Durability: Keeping Your Data Safe

Another benefit of our High performance disks is increased durability. Our new disks offer 99.999% durability, a 100x increase over our standard disk. This means that if you’re using high performance disk, you will almost never need to worry about disk failure — say goodbye to recovery from backups.

## Consolidated Disk and Compute User Interface

With these advanced options comes complexity—both in the number of options available, and how they interplay with compute settings. To address this we've completely redesigned our disk management interface to coexist and interoperate with our compute upgrade UI. When designing the new UI, we adhered to the following principles:

The effective IOPS is limited by both your compute add-on and disk configuration and it is technically possible to over provision the disk throughput and IOPS with the instance not being able to make full use of it. For example, to achieve maximum IOPS (80,000), you'll need a 16XL or larger compute instance. The dashboard warns you when it detects scenarios like these.

## Pricing

The pricing for high performance disks start at $0.195 per GB, and you can additionally provision IOPS at $0.119 per IOPS. The storage pricing for general purpose disks remains unchanged, and you can provision IOPS at $0.024 per IOPS and 0.095$ per Mbps throughput.
