- Especially valuable for I/O-intensive workloads like databases requiring fast, consistent performance
- Rate preserved across DRS updates for rightsizing or disk changes

- Charged per GB based on snapshot size and specified rate
This feature helps organizations meet recovery time objectives by ensuring applications reach full storage performance on a predictable timeline.
