About Azure Block Storage
Block Storage provides fixed size raw storage capacity where each storage volume can be treated as an independent disk. Block Storage is only accessible from an OS, such as SoftNAS' linux -based application. It is typically formatted with FAT32, NTFS, EXT3, and EXT4. It is the most common storage type used with databases that require high performance and low-latency, and for mission-critical applications.
Azure offers various VM sizes, with pricing based on the amount of block storage disks it makes available. When adding block storage through the SoftNAS UI, your instance will be subject to the limits of your selected instance Size.
