Each method caters to different needs, balancing uninterrupted service against achieving maximum performance benefits. After migration, these resources will be managed under [Storage](/storage/block/quickstart/) instead of Compute.

## How can I convert a Block Storage legacy volume into a Block Storage Low Latency volume?

Although there is no direct way to change the storage class of a volume while preserving its ID, you can still convert a Block Storage legacy volume (along with its data) into a Block Storage Low Latency volume using the snapshot export/import features as a temporary solution. This allows you to transition a Block Storage legacy (`b_ssd`) snapshot into a Block Storage Low Latency (`sbs_5k` or `sbs_15k`) snapshot and then turn the snapshot into a Block Storage Low Latency volume.
