| Volume type | IOPS | Underlying hardware | Latency | Max volume size | Recommended use cases | Availability & resilience |

| `b_ssd` (Block Storage 5K legacy) | 5,000 | Legacy SSDs | Higher | Up to 10 TB | General-purpose workloads that do not demand high IOPS or low latency | Data is replicated three times across multiple disks for high availability and integrity |

| `sbs_5k` (Block Low Latency 5K) | 5,000 | Modern NVMe disks | Low | 5 GB to 10 TB | Development environments, web servers, and applications needing consistent performance | 99.99% SLA, triple-replicated data to safeguard against hardware failures |

| `sbs_15k` (Block Low Latency 15K) | 15,000 | Modern NVMe disks | Very low | 5 GB to 10 TB | High-performance databases, transactional applications, and I/O-intensive workloads | 99.99% SLA, triple-replicated data to safeguard against hardware failures |
