storageType

Sets the storage type for the Windows or OpenZFS file system that you're creating from a backup. Valid values are SSD and HDD.

  • Set to SSD to use solid state drive storage. SSD is supported on all Windows and OpenZFS deployment types.

  • Set to HDD to use hard disk drive storage. HDD is supported on SINGLE_AZ_2 and MULTI_AZ_1 FSx for Windows File Server file system deployment types.

The default value is SSD.

HDD and SSD storage types have different minimum storage capacity requirements. A restored file system's storage capacity is tied to the file system that was backed up. You can create a file system that uses HDD storage from a backup of a file system that used SSD storage if the original SSD file system had a storage capacity of at least 2000 GiB.
