Hetzner Cloud Volumes are SSD-based block storage devices that you can flexibly attach to cloud servers (CX/CCX/CPX/CAX) - similar to AWS EBS. The list price is €0.044 net per GB/month as checked on 3 August 2026; data location, contracts and configuration must still be selected for the privacy requirements of the specific system. Each data block is replicated three times and provided via the Hetzner network. This means high reliability without the need for a separate RAID setup.

Setup: Attach a volume in 4 steps

1. Log in to the Hetzner Cloud Console and click on "Volumes"

2. Create new volume

We click on "New Volume" and enter the desired parameters:

In our example, we create a volume with a size of 10GB and the file system ext4. In the dialog, we can directly select the server to which the volume is to be attached, in our example this is "Demo". We also select that the volume should be mounted automatically. This means that the volume is available on the server immediately after creation and does not have to be mounted manually.

3. Check volume

As we selected that the volume should be automatically attached to the "Demo" server when creating the volume, we do not need to perform any further steps on the server. The volume is already mounted and ready for use. We check this by logging onto the "Demo" server and checking the mount point:

lsblk

This gives us the following output: We see that the volume has been successfully mounted under /mnt/HC_Volume_102736947 and has a size of 10GB.

4. Use volume

Now we can use the volume as a destination for backups, logs or data from other applications.
