Massively scalable and secure object storage
Block blob storage is used for streaming and storing documents, videos, pictures, backups and other unstructured text or binary data.
Total cost of block blob storage depends on:
- Volume of data stored per month.
- Quantity and types of operations performed, along with any data transfer costs.
- Data redundancy option selected.

Prices are estimates only and are not intended as actual price quotes. Actual pricing may vary depending on the type of agreement entered with Microsoft, date of purchase, and the currency exchange rate. Prices are calculated based on US dollars and converted using London closing spot rates that are captured in the two business days prior to the last business day of the previous month end. If the two business days prior to the end of the month autumn on a bank holiday in major markets, the rate setting day is generally the day immediately preceding the two business days. This rate applies to all transactions during the forthcoming month. Sign in to the Azure pricing calculator to see pricing based on your current programme/offer with Microsoft. Contact an Azure sales specialist for more information on pricing or to request a price quote. See frequently asked questions about Azure pricing.

Azure Blob Storage usage is calculated in binary Gigabytes (GB), where 1 GB = 230 bytes. This unit of measurement is also known as Gibibyte (GiB), defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Similarly, 1 TB is 240 bytes, i.e. 1,024 GBs.
| Storage Tiers | Description |
|---|---|
| Standard (GPv2) storage | Our recommended pricing offers for block blobs and append blobs provide access to the latest Azure Storage features. The Hot tier is applicable for most workloads. The Cool and Archive tiers are for cool or cold data with pricing optimized for lowest GB storage prices. |
| Premium storage | Premium blob storage provides access to block blobs and append blobs with low and consistent latency, with pricing optimised for high transaction rates. |

Early deletion penalty
Blobs are subject to an early deletion penalty if they are deleted, overwritten or moved to a different tier before the minimum number of days required by the tier have transpired. Any blob that is moved to the Archive tier is subject to an Archive early deletion period of 180 days. Any blob that is moved to the Cold tier is subject to a Cold tier early deletion period of 90 days. Any blob that is moved to the Cool tier is subject to a Cool tier early deletion period of 30 days. This charge is prorated based on the data storage price of the corresponding tier, i.e. deleting an archived blob after 120 days will lead to this object being charged for 180 days. Please refer to the documentation page for the full details.

Blob Index
Blob Index is an intelligent data sub-resource for blob; consisting of user-defined key/value tag attributes that are automatically indexed for querying. This provides a managed multi-dimensional classification for your blob objects, allowing for quick, simple and cost-effective data discovery capabilities beyond listing by prefix filters on blob name. Learn more about the feature at blob documentation.

Data transfer prices for block blobs
When you write data to a GRS, RA-GRS, GZRS or RA-GZRS account, the data is replicated to another Azure region. The geo-replication data transfer charge is for bandwidth used to replicate data to the second Azure region. This charge also applies when you change the storage account's replication setting from LRS to GRS or RA-GRS or from ZRS to GZRS or RA-GZRS.
GZRS or RA-GZRS are not currently available for Premium Block Blobs

Blob inventory
Blob inventory provides a list of the containers, blobs, blob versions, and snapshots in your storage account, along with their associated properties. It generates an output report in either CSV or Apache Parquet format on a daily or weekly basis. You can use the report to audit retention, legal hold or encryption status, or you can use it as a scheduled alternative to the List Blobs API for your workflows. Learn more about Blob inventory.
