# Deka Volume: Storage

**Deka Volume: Storage** is the data disk you can attach to the VM. Block storage is used to host a database, support random read/write operations, and keep system files of the running virtual machines. If you need additional storage for your VM you can use Cloudeka Block Storage, a non-root disk.

With block storage, it is easier to modify files because you have access to the specifically required blocks in the volumes. Block storage is mounted as a storage device on the server with underlying file system protocols such as NTFS, ext3/ext4, FAT, and others designed specifically for file operations.
