Block storage that costs 95% less.

Bolt up to 10 TB onto any KVM Slice for $1.25 per 256 GB — $5 a terabyte, billed monthly. It rides a 40 Gbit+ InfiniBand RDMA fabric with NVMe cache, so it feels local. The big clouds charge that much for a rounding error.

Terabytes for the price of a coffee.

Storage is sold in 256 GB blocks at $1.25 each. Start with a single block, or fill a whole 10 TB slab — same flat rate, no tiering games, no per-IOP surcharge. Here's how the round numbers shake out.

Billed per 256 GB block at $1.25 each — mix any size up to 10 TB. Storage needs a KVM Slice in the same facility to attach to. Stack up to 8 slabs on one server for 80 TB total.

How it works

Attach in a click. Migrate without downtime.

Create a slab in the Stallion panel, point it at a slice in the same datacenter, and it shows up as a block device in seconds. Need to move it to a beefier server? Hot migration shuffles it across the floor with no reboot and no power-off.

✓Same-facility attach — bind a slab to any KVM Slice in the same location instantly.
✓Hot migration between servers in the same datacenter — no reboot, no power-off.
✓Live upgrades — grow capacity on the fly; downgrades just need a manual data transfer.
✓Stallion-managed — provision, resize and detach from the panel or the API.

— Why it's fast (and cheap)

Datacenter-grade storage, without the datacenter invoice.

RDMA storage fabric

Every slab rides 40 Gbit+ InfiniBand with RDMA, so your slice talks to storage at near-local latency — not over a congested public network.

NVMe cache layers

Multiple cache tiers, including large NVMe read/write buffers, absorb hot data and bursty writes so spinning capacity behaves like flash.

Hot migration

Move a slab to another server in the same datacenter while it's live. No reboot, no power-off, no scheduled maintenance window.

Attach to any slice

Pair a slab with any KVM Slice in the same facility, from the $2 starter up to a 28 GB high-volume box. Stack up to 8 per server.

Full encryption

Bring your own LUKS keys and encrypt the whole device. Your data stays your data — we run a privacy-first shop and intend to keep it that way.

95% cheaper than the big vendors

Major clouds charge roughly $90–$131.50 per TB each month. We charge $5 — and benchmark faster. The math isn't subtle.

— FAQ

Questions, answered.

What's the minimum size, and how is it billed?

Storage is sold in 256 GB increments at $1.25 each, so the smallest slab is 256 GB for $1.25/mo. Add as many blocks as you like — 1 TB lands at $5/mo, and a single slab tops out at 10 TB ($50/mo). You can run up to 8 slabs on one server for 80 TB total.

Do I need a VPS to use Block Storage?

Yes — a slab attaches to a KVM Slice, so you'll need at least one slice in the same facility. The slice can be anything from our $2 starter upward; pick the location first, then add storage to match.

Can I resize a slab later?

Upgrades happen live — add capacity from the Stallion panel and your block device grows without downtime. Downgrades aren't automatic: you'll need to move your data onto a smaller slab manually, which is the safe way to shrink a filesystem anyway.

Which locations offer Block Storage?

Las Vegas, New York, Miami and Luxembourg. A slab and the slice it attaches to must live in the same facility, so deploy both in the region closest to your users.

How does the price compare to the big clouds?

The major block-storage vendors charge roughly $90 to $131.50 per TB per month. Ours is $5 per TB — up to 95% less — and it runs on a 40 Gbit+ RDMA fabric with NVMe cache that benchmarks faster than the name-brand offerings. Affordable hosting with a touch of insanity, as usual.

Add terabytes for the price of a coffee.

Spin up a slab, attach it to a slice, and stop paying cloud-vendor ransom for storage. $1.25 per 256 GB, hot-migratable, NVMe-cached, yours to encrypt.
