Specs & pricing
⚠ Performance billed separately: capacity and performance are charged apart. The headline price is the reference-config monthly cost (100 GiB + 3000 IOPS + 125 MB/s) — it already includes the cost to reach that performance, so it's directly comparable to bundled disks. The "monthly by size" and "price by region" tables below are capacity-only.
