There are two general types of storage accounts for Azure:

...

  • Azure Cool Storage - Object storage that allows economical safe-keeping of less frequently accessed file data.
  • Azure Hot Storage - Object storage that optimizes frequently accessed stored data to enable continuous IO.

Note: You cannot mix hot and cool storage disks in a RAID configured pool. A decision must be made on storage type for each pool. As storage type is determined at the blob storage account level, you must be aware of the type of account created. SoftNAS recommends labelling them with Hot or Cool in the names to avoid confusion.
