File System (NVMe) · $1/mo
Vultr's $1/mo NVMe File System is competitively priced for high-performance block storage, but several cheaper object-storage alternatives exist if your workload permits. However, object storage (Azure Blob, Google Cloud Storage, Oracle Object Storage) trades retrieval speed and IOPS for lower capacity cost, so direct comparison depends on access patterns.
NVMe-equivalent file storage with managed NFS, 24 IOPS/GB up to 16,000 IOPS per volume, and included egress in most regions until end of 2026.
Caveat: Billed per GB-hour (not flat-rate), APAC egress becomes paid after mid-2026, and performance is lower than Vultr's high-performance tier.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Azure | Blob Storage · Cool tier | $0.01/mo | Per GB/month, LRS. Lower storage cost, retrieval and early-deletion fees apply for objects deleted before 30 days. | Visit |
| Google Cloud | Cloud Storage · Nearline storage | $0.01/mo | $0.010/GB/month, 30-day minimum storage duration, $0.01/GB retrieval fee | Visit |
| Oracle Cloud Infrastructure | Object Storage · Infrequent Access | $0.01/mo |
Managed NFS file storage at EUR 0.15/GB/month (roughly $1.60 for 10GB), with 75 GB free egress per month included.
Caveat: Single-zone deployment, lower IOPS than Vultr, and egress overage charged at EUR 0.01/GB thereafter.
SSD block storage at ~$0.057/GB/month ($0.57 for 10GB minimum), significantly cheaper than Vultr and attachable to multiple servers.
Caveat: SSD, not NVMe; 99.9% SLA vs Vultr's implied higher tier; traffic overage charged per GB beyond 20TB EU pool; recent 36-39% price increase in April 2026.
NVMe SSD block storage at $0.05/GB/month ($0.50 for 10GB) with up to 20,000 IOPS included and no IOPS surcharge.
Caveat: Billed by the minute; Windows/SQL licensing surcharges only shown at checkout; 99.95% SLA; bandwidth overage at $0.01/GB past pooled allowance.
Block storage at $0.05/GB/month ($0.50 for 10GB) with 200 MB/s throughput and 1,100 static IOPS.
Caveat: HDD, not NVMe; renewal pricing after promo period is 2-6x higher; outbound bandwidth overage tiered at $0.036-0.018/GB; building-block pricing requires calculator.
