Disk Storage

Block level storage which provides disks for virtual machines, applications, and other services to access and use as they need.
Disk storage allows data to be persistently stored and accessed from an attached virtual hard disk.
The disks can be managed or unmanaged by Azure, and therefore managed and configured by the user.
Typical scenarios for using disk storage are if you want to lift and shift applications that read and write data to persistent disks, or if you are storing data that is not required to be accessed from outside the virtual machine to which the disk is attached.
Disks come in many different sizes and performance levels, from solid-state drives (SSDs) to traditional spinning hard disk drives (HDDs), with varying performance abilities.
