Big size HDD droplets

Posted April 17, 2014 7.8k views
Something I miss with DO is big size HDD/storage purpose droplets. Non-SSD would work perfectly well, size ranges 1TB and up. I have backup services that I really would like to move to DO. Any plans on offering this in the near future?

Ok, thanks! The SSD plans are awesome by the way. However, a whole new horizon would open up if cheaper mass-storage plans were available (even with standard HDD's). I'm running Crashplan PROe backup servers and the SSD plans aren't just worth it...

Keeping my fingers crossed :-)

SSDs are faster than HDD, and since servers/droplets all have their own block of space at DO, it may be best to have something to R/W fast so performance in I/O wont drop but yea in the future they may add it but im not expecting it anytime soon though.
