Compute Engine C4D Instances Increase Hyperdisk Throughput
infragcpengineergcp-compute-engine
feature
Compute Engine's C4D instances now offer higher maximum throughput limits for Hyperdisk Balanced volumes. This enhancement benefits users requiring faster disk I/O on larger machine types, such as c4d-*-96, c4d-*-192, and c4d-*-384. The updated limits are detailed in the Hyperdisk Balanced performance documentation.

- Compute Engine
Hyperdisk Balanced volumes on C4D instances have increased maximum throughput limits for these machine types: c4d-*-96 : 3,125 MiB/s (up from 2,800 MiB/s). c4d-*-192 : 6,250 MiB/s (up from 4,800 MiB/s). c4d-*-384 : 12,500 MiB/s (up from 10,000 MiB/s). For detailed performance limits, see Hyperdisk Balanced performance limits when attached to an instance .
