Block Storage & Object Storage

Block Storage

  • Each block has fixed size
  • Data is stored in terms of blocks
  • Data is read or written with a whole block at the same time
  • No metadata is stored (except for block address)

Object Storage

  • No block system. Any type of file is stored directly as an object along with its metadata
  • Can be called with API on a browser directly
  • Slower than block storage
