What makes Premium SSD v2 different from Premium SSD?

Premium SSD v2 lets you independently provision IOPS (up to 80,000) and throughput (up to 1,200 MBps) without upgrading disk size, and you only pay for what you provision. Premium SSD ties IOPS and throughput to the disk size tier. v2 is ideal when you need high performance on a relatively small disk.

Does the estimator include snapshot costs?

The estimator focuses on running disk costs (capacity plus provisioned performance). Snapshot costs depend on the amount of changed data and the snapshot storage tier, which are separate line items. Factor in snapshot costs separately for a complete picture.

About This Tool

The Azure Disk Cost Estimator calculates monthly costs for Azure Managed Disks across all available SKUs including Standard HDD, Standard SSD, Premium SSD, Premium SSD v2, and Ultra Disk. Select your disk size, performance tier, and redundancy option to see a precise monthly cost projection that includes both capacity and any provisioned IOPS or throughput charges. The tool helps you understand the price-performance tradeoffs between disk types so you can match your workload's latency and throughput requirements to the most cost-effective SKU. It is especially useful when planning VM fleets where disk costs can rival or exceed compute costs.

When to Use This Tool

•Choosing between Premium SSD and Premium SSD v2 for a SQL Server workload that needs high IOPS with fine-grained performance tuning.
•Estimating the monthly cost difference between Standard HDD and Standard SSD for dev/test environments.
•Calculating Ultra Disk costs for SAP HANA or Oracle workloads that require sub-millisecond latency and very high throughput.
•Right-sizing managed disk capacity and performance tiers during an on-premises-to-Azure migration assessment.
