# Storage

> Configure and scale storage independently from compute.

Lineserve Cloud Servers use network-attached storage that you can size independently from compute. You can resize storage without changing instance type.

## Storage types

| Type                            | Best for                    | Min size | Max size  | IOPS         | Throughput | Price (USD/GB/month) |
| ------------------------------- | --------------------------- | -------- | --------- | ------------ | ---------- | -------------------- |
| Network Basic HDD               | Infrequent access, archives | 10 GB    | 10,000 GB | Up to 500    | 40 MB/s    | 0.15                 |
| Network Universal SSD (default) | Balanced workloads          | 1 GB     | 16,000 GB | Up to 3,000  | 125 MB/s   | 0.253                |
| Network Fast SSD                | Databases, high I/O apps    | 10 GB    | 16,000 GB | Up to 16,000 | 250 MB/s   | 0.425                |

Notes:

* Linux images require at least 10 GB.
* Windows Server images require at least 32 GB.
* Snapshot pricing matches the storage type price per GB.
* Regional pricing is available in KES, NGN, and TZS based on your billing region.

## Storage sizing guidance

* Start with 25 to 60 GB for small Linux workloads and scale up as needed.
* Use Universal SSD for most web apps and APIs.
* Use Fast SSD for databases, queues, and search workloads.
* Use Basic HDD for backups and archive data.
