You can dynamically expand the storage capacity of your Premium SSD v2 and Ultra Disks using [NVMe controllers](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-machines/nvme-overview) without any disruption to your applications. To optimize costs, you can start with smaller disks and gradually increase their storage capacity as needed, without experiencing downtime. See [expand with Ultra Disks and Premium SSD v2](/azure/virtual-machines/windows/expand-disks#expand-with-ultra-disks-and-premium-ssd-v2) for details.

To better support performance sensitive and mission critical workloads on Azure, Ultra Disk offers improved cost efficiency in West US 2, Central US, and UK South. These enhancements gives you access to the same high-performance storage at a lower cost. For details, see [West US 2](https://azure.microsoft.com/updates?id=499401), [Central US](https://azure.microsoft.com/updates?id=499406), and [UK South](https://azure.microsoft.com/updates?id=499411).

For optimal performance and experience, we generally recommend using the newer v5 and v6 VM series. This ensures you have access to the latest features such as Premium Storage, Accelerated Networking, and Nested Virtualization. While the v6 VM series is preferred, there are certain scenarios where you might want to consider the v5 or even the v4 VM series. Here are some reasons why:
