        SSD not spinning rust.

          SSD based would make more sense - but since they are talking about this thing called Block Storage - I suppose this would be OK grammar as well.

            I can't see the price now, but perhaps it's cheaper than SSD VM + Block storage, if SATA storage meets your needs.

            I thought all their storage was SSD?

            I'm pretty sure their Storage Instances were SATA. I only had a chance to see the details briefly a while back.

              I think it's common nomenclature in this case. The block storage is backed by SSDs. It's understandable either way.

                well, my quoted portion seems to show that currently it's SSD based/backed.

                  Their block storage offerings != storage instance.

                    I think you are talking about two different things. Their block storage is backed by SSDs. I don't believe that to be the case with their storage instances.

                    I can't find any documentation to back this up so you may be right though.

                      It's $0.10 per GB. So a $2.50 instance with 50 GB would only be $7.50. 100 GB would only be $12.50 then. Plus the added benefit of being able to move your storage to another server. If the VM hoses up for some reason, you can just reattach to a new one.

                            I'm saying I think it's comparable. I think a 120 GB storage instance was around $10 a month, I think. So for the small extra price you get pretty much exactly the same storage (VM storage plus 100GB of block) and the added benefit of being able to move your data.

                              So according to this site it was $5 for 125GB.

                              https://vultrcoupons.com/vultr-price-vultr-local-storage-vls/

                              Still to me, the benefits of going the other way make it worth the cost.

                                    That's WAY more expensive than their storage instances, though.

                                        If you don't need the speed, though, like you are using it for a file store, that extra performance is lost.

                                          Remember that you need a server to consume it, as well. So a storage instance of 125GB, it is $5.

                                          To use the separate block storage (SAN) option it is $17.50 (you can only get a maximum of 2 $2.50 instances across all your systems, so isn't useful for calculations). That's way more than triple the cost of the storage instance. I realize it is faster and has some nice benefits. But they aren't even remotely close in cost.

                                            @scottalanmiller said in Vultr Storage Instances:

                                            Remember that you need a server to consume it, as well. So a storage instance of 125GB, it is $5.

                                            To use the separate block storage (SAN) option it is $17.50 (you can only get a maximum of 2 $2.50 instances across all your systems, so isn't useful for calculations). That's way more than triple the cost of the storage instance. I realize it is faster and has some nice benefits. But they aren't even remotely close in cost.

                                            If you're only running 1 VM it's very useful for calculations. But also that's if you actually use 100% of 125 GB. Anything not being used is wasted. So if you purchase a storage instance and only use 50% since 125 is the smallest, you could do the same thing with block storage and pay the same price.
