Creating a high-performance SSD

You can create a separate high-performance SSD that combines the high speed of a non-replicated disk with redundancy.

The size of a disk must be a multiple of 93 GB.

To create a high-performance disk named ssd-io-disk, run this command:

yc compute disk create \
  --name ssd-io-disk \
  --zone ru-central1-a \
  --type network-ssd-io-m3 \
  --size 93G
