This guide provides a complete overview of internet and Block Storage bandwidth for Scaleway Instances.
17+
Understanding these specifications is crucial for optimizing your infrastructure for performance and compatibility.
18+
19+
### Why bandwidth matters
20+
21+
Bandwidth impacts how your applications perform and interact with other systems.
22+
- **Internet bandwidth**: Affects how fast your Instance can send or receive data over the internet.
23+
- **Block bandwidth**: Determines the read/write speed to Block Storage, essential for storage-heavy workloads like databases and analytics.
24+
25+
<Message type="important">
26+
Bandwidth specifications listed here are for informational purposes. To validate the exact bandwidth capacity of your Instance type, refer to the `block_bandwidth` field in the [Instances API](https://www.scaleway.com/en/developers/api/instance/#path-instance-types-list-instance-types). Use the endpoint `/instance/v1/zones/{zone}/products/servers` to retrieve Instance type specifications.

To maximize compatibility with [Block Storage Low Latency 15k](https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/storage/block/), select an Instance with **at least 3 GiB/s** of Block bandwidth.
