#### Zone

Use this dropdown menu to select the zone to use for your storage. A zone refers to an isolated location inside a region.

We recommend that your storage zone matches the zone of the cluster you’re pairing the storage with.

#### Type

Use this dropdown menu to select the type. Currently, we offer `pd-ssd`, which is designed for single-digit millisecond latencies.

For more details about `pd-sdd`, please see [the Google persistent disk documentation](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks#disk-types).

#### Size (GiB)
Use this field to enter the size of your storage in gibibytes. 

The minimum capacity for `pd-sdd` is 10 GiB. For more information about disk capacity, please see [this Google Cloud page](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks#introduction).

#### Restore Snapshot
Toggle this option to **Yes** if you want to restore a previously saved disk snapshot. A new dropdown menu, **Snapshot**, will appear so you can select your snapshot.

For more information, please see [**Working With Disk Snapshots**](https://parallelworks.com/docs/storage/working-with-disk-snapshots).
