Virtual machine size
DS3
(under older generation sizes)
Azure Portal (when deploying VM) shows that DS3
supports up to 16 data disks / up to 12800 IOPS
- thats fine,
But what I am interested in is it's local/temp storage 28 GB D: drive
Documentation shows that this local/temp drive is SSD, but what I can't seem to find is information on how many IOPS this drive can handle ?
More specifically, if my TempDB has requirement of IOPS up to 1900
, can D: drive on DS3
VM handle that requirement ?
From this source https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/sizes-previous-gen I can guess that D: is 3200
IOPS but not sure I understand it correctly...
