Block Storage
Learn about the usage and advantages of block storage in the cloud.
What is block storage?
Block storage is a type of storage in which data is broken into fixed-sized blocks before storing them. These blocks are then stored separately across many locations. Each block gets a unique identifier so it can easily be located. This process of breaking down into smaller-sized blocks allows for scalability, and data can be stored efficiently compared to traditional file systems.
