- ⏱One can [provision IOPS](http://aws.amazon.com/ebs/details/) (that is, pay for a specific level of I/O operations per second) to ensure a particular level of performance for a disk.

- ⏱A single EBS volume allows 10k IOPS max. To get the maximum performance out of an EBS volume, it has to be of a maximum size and attached to an EBS-optimized EC2 instance.

- 💸Standard EBS volumes improve IOPS with size. It may make sense for you to simply enlarge a volume instead of paying for better performance explicitly. This can in many cases reduce costs by 2/3.
