Posted on September 6, 2012

I would like to add an SSD Drive 40 GB for one of the standard plans say $80 4GB Memory 4 Cores 160GB Disk. How can I do this? Can I mount SSD Drive separately?

What are the charges for SSD Drive as an Add-on? What other options available?

SSD drives are only available under special plans in the “High Performance” section when you create a new droplet. We currently do not allow you to add SSD to an existing server, or add more disk to expand storage. <br> <br>You can select an SSD server right away by selecting “High Performance” from the new droplet page in your control panel.

If I need any extra Disk space … what are the options? <br>Is there a plan to support this feature in the near term? <br> <br>What would be ideal is to be able to buy extra disc space that can possibly mounted onto one or more servers.
