## How can I convert a Block Storage legacy volume into a Block Storage Low Latency volume?
58+
59+
Currently, there is no direct way to change the storage class of a volume while preserving its ID.
60+
61+
However, you can use the snapshot export/import feature as a temporary solution to transition a Block Storage legacy volume into a Block Storage Low Latency volume.
62+
63+
<Message type="important">
64+
The process below requires manual intervention and **does not preserve the original volume's ID**.
65+
While this approach allows you to transition to a Block Storage Low Latency volume, it is only a workaround.
