**Performance specifications:**

* Use NVMe-based storage classes for production deployments
* Specify a minimum 16,000 IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second)
* Consider provisioned IOPS where available to meet or exceed the minimum
* Enable xref:develop:manage-topics/config-topics.adoc#configure-write-caching[write caching] to help Redpanda perform better in environments with disks that don't meet the recommended IOPS
* NFS (Network File System) is not supported
* Test storage performance under load

*Requirements*:

- NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) drives are required for production deployments. NVMe drives provide the high throughput and low latency needed for optimal Redpanda performance.

- At least 16,000 IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second).

To understand the performance capabilities of your Redpanda cluster, Redpanda offers built-in self-test features that evaluate the performance of both disk and network operations.

For more information, see xref:manage:cluster-maintenance/cluster-diagnostics.adoc#self-test[Disk and network self-test benchmarks].

When using the storage bandwidth test, ensure that your results show at least 16,000 IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) for production environments. If your test results are below this threshold, your storage may not be suitable for production Redpanda workloads.
