Fotbo Launches Block Storage Volumes: Scalable SSD Storage for Your Cloud VPS

Fotbo has expanded its cloud infrastructure lineup with a new service — Block Storage Volumes. Starting today, users can attach independent SSD drives to their Cloud VPS without reinstalling the system or experiencing any downtime.

What Are Block Storage Volumes?

Block Storage Volumes are independent SSD drives that work as external storage for your virtual private server. Unlike your server's built-in NVMe disk, a volume exists separately — meaning you can expand storage capacity without upgrading your CPU or RAM plan.

This makes Block Storage particularly useful when a project grows and needs more disk space, but the current compute resources are still sufficient.

Key Features

Block Storage Volumes from Fotbo come with a set of features designed for flexibility and performance:

— storage scales from 10 GB to 10TB and beyond
— up to 3 volumes can be attached to a single server
— available in three types: SATA SSD, NVMe, and HDD
— low latency: ~1–2 ms read, ~15–16 ms write
— supports snapshots for easy data recovery
— data can be moved between servers without reconfiguration

Who Is It For?

Block Storage Volumes are a practical solution for a wide range of use cases:

— databases that require stable, high-performance read/write
— backups and snapshots with quick recovery options
— containers that need persistent storage across restarts
— high-load applications sensitive to latency
— data migration between virtual servers

Pricing

Fotbo keeps storage pricing simple and transparent. Block Storage Volumes start at €0.09/GB per month. As a reference point, a 50 GB SATA SSD volume costs just €4.50/month — with no hidden fees and no long-term commitment required.

How to Get Started

Block Storage Volumes are available now. Users can connect a volume directly from the Fotbo personal account in just a few clicks — no technical expertise required.
