BlueXP enables you to choose a normal or high write speed for Cloud Volumes ONTAP. The default write speed is normal. You can change to high write speed if fast write performance is required for your workload.

High write speed is supported with all types of single node systems and some HA pair configurations. View supported configurations in the Cloud Volumes ONTAP Release Notes

Before you change the write speed, you should understand the differences between the normal and high settings.

About this task
