Hi @darielson
You cannot merge two disks like that. The Block Storage is your secondary disk and the droplet cannot boot from that. The internal disk is the primary disk and will be used for booting the OS.
Base on the use case of Block Storage Volumes: **Volumes are most useful when you need more storage space but don’t need the additional processing power or memory that a larger Droplet would provide, like:**
But I couldn’t find any simple and safe way to make it.
