The best thing about Amazon EBS is how dynamically data volumes can be attached, detached, and scaled with any EC2 instance is just fabulous. It gives minimum down-time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maximum size for allowed EBS is 64TB, and most organizations require larger volume. Also, sometimes the volumes are subjected to availability zones of the instance also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon EBS is mainly used for EC2 instances for block storage kind of hard drive storage. And it is accessed fast and majorly used for boot/root volume of instances with long term storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon EBS is majorly used for boot/root volume of instances with long term storage. But it is only available for a single availability zone (az). So if anything happens to the EBS volume the data is lost and once a size of EBS volume is increased, it cannot be decreased. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon EBS is a persistent storage which can be mounted to the EC2 so it can exist on its own and is not affected if something happens to the EC2. Add to this the resiliency of the storage service and the speed, it is a good option for storage intensive tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) can become a bit expensive solution compared to the other options available and also accessing EBS in different AZs is not that straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
