DB Instance Storage Types

Updated on 2023-12-28 GMT+08:00

The database system is generally an important part of an IT system and has high requirements on storage I/O performance. You can select a storage type based on service demands. You cannot change the storage type after the DB instance is created.

Description

RDS supports Cloud SSD (also called Ultra-high I/O) and Extreme SSD to suit different performance requirements of your workloads.

  • Cloud SSD or Ultra-high I/O

    Cloud SSDs and Ultra-high I/O drives are both cloud drives used to decouple storage from compute. The maximum throughput is 350 MB/s.

    • For RDS for MySQL instances, this storage type is normally displayed as Cloud SSD, but for existing instances in certain regions it is displayed as Ultra-high I/O.
    • For RDS for MariaDB, RDS for PostgreSQL and RDS for SQL Server instances, this storage type is displayed as Cloud SSD.
  • Extreme SSD

    Uses 25GE network and RDMA technologies to provide you with up to 1,000 MB/s throughput per disk and sub-millisecond latency.

    • Only RDS for MySQL, RDS for PostgreSQL, and RDS for SQL Server support extreme SSDs.
