Persistent disk

The Compute Engine manages physical disks and data distribution to ensure redundancy and optimize performance. Persistent disks are durable network storage devices that can be accessed by instances like any physical disks in a desktop or server. The data on each persistent disk is distributed across several physical disks. 

Persistent disks are available in two-forms:

  • Standard hard disk drives
  • Solid-state drives

Persistent disks are located independently from the virtual machine. The disks can be detached from the instances and still keep the data. The size of a persistent disk can be resized. The performance of a persistent disk scales automatically with the size of the disk.
