# What are the available volume types and what do they mean?

NeevCloud offers multiple volume types to suit different storage needs:

**DEFAULT** – Standard volume type with balanced performance, suitable for general-purpose workloads like web servers and development environments.

**NVMe** – High-performance storage ideal for I/O-intensive workloads such as databases, AI/ML, and real-time analytics. Offers significantly higher IOPS and throughput compared to traditional SSDs.

**Encrypted** – Provides encryption at rest for the volume and is recommended for sensitive, regulated, or compliance-bound workloads.

{% hint style="info" %}
Encryption applies to volumes created using the Encrypted storage type.
