Compare SSD and HDD volume types in EBS?

Question

calvin stephen · Accepted Answer

SSD EBS volumes (gp2, gp3, io1, io2) are optimized for high IOPS and low latency, suitable for transactional and database workloads. HDD EBS volumes (st1, sc1) provide high throughput but lower IOPS, ideal for large, sequential data access like log processing and backups. SSDs support use as boot volumes; HDDs cannot be used for booting. HDD volumes are cheaper per GB, while SSDs cost more but offer higher, consistent performance. Choose SSD for fast, random access; HDD for cost-effective storage of large, sequential datasets
