Storage

Hanzo Platform provides network-attached block storage that can be mounted to any VM. Volumes persist independently of VMs and can be moved between instances.

Storage Tiers

Tier	Type	IOPS	Throughput	Price
SSD	Network SSD	Up to 5,000	200 MB/s	$0.10/GB/mo
NVMe	Local NVMe	Up to 50,000	1,000 MB/s	$0.20/GB/mo

SSD Storage

General-purpose network-attached SSD. Suitable for most workloads including web applications, databases, and file storage.

Persistent across VM restarts

Snapshots included

Can be detached and reattached to different VMs

Sizes from 10 GB to 10 TB

NVMe Storage

High-performance locally-attached NVMe. Ideal for I/O-intensive workloads like databases, search indexes, and data processing pipelines.

Lowest latency, highest throughput

Snapshots included

Can be detached and reattached to different VMs in the same region

Sizes from 50 GB to 10 TB

NVMe volumes are region-locked. You cannot move an NVMe volume to a VM in a different region. Use SSD volumes if cross-region portability is needed.

Managing Volumes

Create a Volume

Navigate to Storage > Create Volume. Select the tier, size, and region. Attach it to a VM.

# Create a 100GB SSD volume
hanzo volume create \
  --name my-data \
  --size 100 \
  --tier ssd \
  --region us-east

# Attach to a VM
hanzo volume attach my-data --vm my-server --mount /mnt/data

curl -X POST https://app.platform.hanzo.ai/api/volume.create \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "my-data",
    "sizeGb": 100,
    "tier": "ssd",
    "region": "us-east"
  }'

Resize a Volume

Volumes can be expanded (never shrunk) without downtime:

hanzo volume resize my-data --size 200

After resizing, extend the filesystem inside the VM:

# ext4
sudo resize2fs /dev/vdb

# xfs
sudo xfs_growfs /mnt/data

Snapshots

Snapshots are point-in-time copies of a volume. They are incremental and stored separately from the volume.

# Create a snapshot
hanzo volume snapshot create my-data --name backup-2026-02-26

# List snapshots
hanzo volume snapshot list my-data

# Restore from snapshot
hanzo volume create --from-snapshot snap_abc123 --name restored-data

Snapshot pricing: $0.05/GB/mo for stored snapshot data.

Included Storage

Each VM plan includes base storage:

Plan	Included Storage	Type
Nano	25 GB	SSD
Micro	50 GB	SSD
Small	80 GB	SSD
Medium	160 GB	SSD
Power	320 GB	SSD
Power Dedicated	640 GB	NVMe

The included storage is the VM's boot disk. Additional volumes are billed separately at the rates above.

Pricing Examples

Configuration	Monthly Cost
100 GB SSD	$10.00
500 GB SSD	$50.00
100 GB NVMe	$20.00
1 TB NVMe	$200.00
100 GB SSD + 50 GB snapshots	$12.50
