Srini A · Answer

Choosing the right volume type really depends on what kind of workload you're running. Sc1 volumes are designed for very specific use cases they're the lowest cost option but come with certain trade-offs

Mahesh B · Answer

sc1 volumes are best used for infrequently accessed data, large datasets that require cost-effective storage, and scenarios where performance is not a critical factor. They are not suitable for applications that demand high performance or low latency.
