3.84 TB and 7.68 TB SSDs are now widely available for bare metal dedicated server customers. We’ve moved away from hard drives as primary storage because SSDs are more reliable (no moving parts), significantly faster, and the price gap has narrowed enough to make them practical for all workloads.
Standard and optional storage
Every dedicated server now ships with at least a 960 GB SSD. Depending on the model, you can get 1.92 TB, 3.84 TB, or larger as the default. For the biggest SSD and NVMe options (Samsung drives up to 7.68 TB SSD and 15.36 TB NVMe), see our SSD options page.
HDD for bulk storage
We still offer magnetic hard drives as secondary storage for workloads that need raw capacity: backups, archives, media storage, and large datasets. Options include 8 TB and 16 TB drives, RAID configurations, and custom builds with up to 32 drives in a single chassis.
SSD vs HDD for your workload
If your workload is database-heavy, runs a busy website, or needs fast I/O, SSD is the right choice. If you’re storing large amounts of data that doesn’t need fast random access (backups, video, logs), HDD secondary storage keeps costs down while SSD handles the active workload.
