File scale targetsįile scale targets apply to individual files stored in Azure file shares.

To take advantage of the larger scale targets, you must change your quota so that it is larger than 5 TiB.ģ Azure Files enforces certain naming rules for directory and file names.

General purpose version 2 (GPv2) storage accounts: GPv2 storage accounts allow you to deploy Azure file shares on standard/hard disk-based (HDD-based) hardware. There are two main types of storage accounts for Azure Files: Storage account scale targets apply at the storage account level.

There are therefore three categories to consider: storage accounts, Azure file shares, and individual files. This pool of storage can be used to deploy multiple file shares. Premium file shares (FileStorage), LRS/ZRSĪzure file shares are deployed into storage accounts, which are top-level objects that represent a shared pool of storage. You should also expect these limits will increase over time. You should test your usage pattern to determine whether the scalability and performance of Azure Files meet your requirements. For example, the performance of IO for a file might be impacted by your SMB client's behavior and by your available network bandwidth. The targets listed here might be affected by other variables in your deployment. This article discusses the scalability and performance targets for Azure Files and Azure File Sync. Azure Files offers fully managed file shares in the cloud that are accessible via the SMB and NFS file system protocols.
