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.
-
In the management console
, select the folder where you want to create a disk. -
Select Compute Cloud.
-
In the left-hand panel, select
Disks. -
Click Create disk.
-
Enter the disk name. The naming requirements are as follows:
- The name must be from 3 to 63 characters long.
- It may contain lowercase Latin letters, numbers, and hyphens.
- The first character must be a letter and the last character cannot be a hyphen.
-
Add a disk description, if required.
-
Select the availability zone to place the disk in.
We recommend creating non-replicated and high-performance disks in the
ru-central1-a
andru-central1-b
availability zones. -
Select
SSD IO
as the disk type. -
Select the required block size.
-
Specify the required disk size.
-
(Optional) To encrypt a disk, under Disks and file storages, configure encryption parameters for the disk:
- Select the Encrypted disk option.
- In the KMS Key field, select the key with which you want to encrypt the disk. To create a new key, click Create.
The encryption feature in Compute Cloud is currently at the Preview stage. To access it, open the resource creation page and click Request access under Encryption or contact support
.If you deactivate the key used to encrypt a disk or snapshot, access to the data will be suspended until you reactivate the key.
Alert
If you destroy the key or its version used to encrypt a disk or snapshot, access to the data will be irrevocably lost. Learn more in Destroying key versions.
-
Click Create disk.
The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name
or --folder-id
parameter.

View a description of the CLI command to create disks:
yc compute disk create --help
-
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
