storageType

Sets the storage type for the Windows, OpenZFS, or Lustre file system that you're creating from a backup. Valid values are SSD, HDD, and INTELLIGENT_TIERING.

• Set to SSD to use solid state drive storage. SSD is supported on all Windows and OpenZFS deployment types.

• Set to HDD to use hard disk drive storage. HDD is supported on SINGLE_AZ_2 and MULTI_AZ_1 FSx for Windows File Server file system deployment types.

• Set to INTELLIGENT_TIERING to use fully elastic, intelligently-tiered storage. Intelligent-Tiering is only available for OpenZFS file systems with the Multi-AZ deployment type and for Lustre file systems with the Persistent_2 deployment type.

The default value is SSD.

HDD and SSD storage types have different minimum storage capacity requirements. A restored file system's storage capacity is tied to the file system that was backed up. You can create a file system that uses HDD storage from a backup of a file system that used SSD storage if the original SSD file system had a storage capacity of at least 2000 GiB.
