Our verdict on Scaleway Block Storage
Scaleway Block Storage provides persistent, network-attached volumes for Scaleway Instances, Kubernetes Kapsule clusters, and managed PostgreSQL and MySQL databases. It suits teams running persistent application data, databases, backups, and additional storage in Scaleway’s cloud environment. Volumes range from 5 GB to 15 TB, with boot-on-block support and management through the console, CLI, API, or Terraform provider. The service is available for small, mid-market, and enterprise organizations using web, API, or Linux workflows.
The published plans show two performance tiers: Block Storage 5K supports up to 5,000 IOPS, while Block Storage 15K supports up to 15,000 IOPS. The Block Storage 15K plan is listed at EUR 0.000177 per GB per hour. The pricing page displays EUR rates for a selected region and states that prices are before tax. There is no free plan. Ecosystem fit is strongest when storage stays within Scaleway, with integrations for Instances, Kubernetes Kapsule, and managed databases. Snapshots, triple data replication across multiple nodes, and 24/7 support through ticket, phone, and documentation add useful operational coverage.
Scaleway Block Storage is a practical choice for large persistent volumes and workloads that benefit from selectable IOPS tiers, snapshots, and infrastructure-as-code management. Its boundaries matter for architectures requiring broader storage mobility or provider-managed encryption: volumes can be attached and detached between Instances in the same Availability Zone, multi-attach is not supported, and cross-region replication is not available. The service does not provide managed encryption at rest; encryption must be handled at the operating-system level. Choose it for Scaleway-centered cloud workloads, and consider an alternative when cross-region storage replication or managed at-rest encryption is essential.
