- | Amazon's EBS service allows customers to buy the equivalent of a raided disk system and attach it to a running EC2 server. Disk sizes range from 5gb to 1tb. They claim that reliability is 10 times that of a standard raid disk system but the details are a bit sketchy. If additional reliability is required the EBS can be backed up to your S3 account. The advantage of EBS over S3 is that EBS can be formatted to act just like a local hard disk. I did not test this product as I didn't need persistent storage for the tests. | + | Amazon's EBS service allows customers to buy the equivalent of a raided disk system and attach it to a running EC2 server.
