The Cloud Block Storage engine is a fully redundant, enterprise-grade storage system. Storage pricing is calculated by the minute.

Block Storage solution is ideal for high-performance and mission-critical applications. It divides data into independent blocks for exceptional speed and low latency, making it perfect for transactional workloads, production databases, and data-intensive applications.

Pricing is based on peak usage per gigabyte per month for monthly billing and per gigabyte-hour for hourly billing, ensuring you only pay for the exact resources you use.
Prices go down to €0.027/GB/month as storage size increases.

Volumes are configured with built-in data replication. Linode Block Storage is powered by NVMe SSD drives.
