storageType

Sets the storage class for the file system that you're creating. Valid values are SSD, HDD, and INTELLIGENT_TIERING.

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

  • Set to HDD to use hard disk drive storage, which is supported on SINGLE_AZ_2 and MULTI_AZ_1 Windows file system deployment types, and on PERSISTENT_1 Lustre 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.

Default value is SSD. For more information, see Storage type options in the FSx for Windows File Server User Guide, FSx for Lustre storage classes in the FSx for Lustre User Guide, and Working with Intelligent-Tiering in the Amazon FSx for OpenZFS User Guide.
