Vultr Block Storage

Purpose: It provides mountable HDD or NVMe raw block storage that can be attached to Vultr Cloud Compute instances for application data such as databases, images, audio, and video.
Storage tiers: The product offers HDD storage for cost-effective bulk data and NVMe storage for higher performance.
Volume features: The product page lists snapshots via API, resizable volumes, HDD and NVMe storage types, and bootable NVMe volumes.
Provisioning: Volumes can be provisioned using the Vultr Console, API, CLI, or Terraform.
Performance: The published sustained limits are 500 IOPS and 100 MB/s for HDD Block and 10,000 IOPS and 400 MB/s for NVMe Block, with bursts up to 150% for up to 60 seconds.
Location constraint: A Block Storage volume and the Cloud Compute instance it attaches to must be in the same Vultr location.
Attachment limits: A volume can attach to one Cloud Compute instance at a time, and up to 16 volumes can attach to one instance.
Volume size limits: The FAQ states minimum sizes of 1 GB for NVMe and 40 GB for HDD, while the product overview lists up to 40,000 GB.
Backup limitation: Vultr automated server backups do not include attached Block Storage volumes; the FAQ recommends backing them up with OS-level tools such as Rclone.
Resize limitation: Resizing a volume requires manually expanding its filesystem, and shrinking it in place is not supported.
Compliance: Vultr makes independently audited compliance reports available to eligible customers through the Console, including SOC 2 Type II with HIPAA Security Rule and ISO/IEC 27001:2022.
Maker history: Vultr says it was founded in 2014 by David Aninowsky.
Founded: 2014
Headquarters: West Palm Beach, Florida
Price from: $0.03/mo
