You can add up to three additional volumes to reach up to 256 TiB of storage capacity. Previously, additional volumes had to be manually provisioned, risking downtime if under-provisioned or wasted cost if over-provisioned. Now you set a maximum storage limit per volume and autoscaling handles the rest. It works on new and existing instances, carries no extra charge, and is available in all commercial AWS Regions and AWS GovCloud (US). ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Does Amazon RDS storage autoscaling work on additional storage volumes for SQL Server and Oracle? Yes, Amazon RDS for SQL Server and Amazon RDS for Oracle now support storage autoscaling on additional storage volumes, not just the primary volume. You can add up to three additional volumes to reach up to 256 TiB total capacity. You set a desired maximum storage limit per volume and autoscaling adjusts capacity automatically as usage approaches that limit, with no extra charge beyond provisioned storage. _Track AWS database storage features like this on daily.dev before your next RDS capacity planning review._ ### How much storage can an Amazon RDS instance have with additional storage volumes? An Amazon RDS instance can scale up to 256 TiB of storage capacity by adding up to three additional storage volumes beyond the primary one. This applies to Amazon RDS for SQL Server and Amazon RDS for Oracle, and each additional volume can now have storage autoscaling enabled, avoiding manual provisioning based on anticipated demand. _Developers sizing RDS storage limits can follow updates like this one on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Amazon RDS for Oracle now supports cross-account snapshot sharing with additional storage volumes](https://daily.dev/posts/amazon-rds-for-oracle-now-supports-cross-account-snapshot-sharing-with-additional-storage-volumes-9youcfcjz) · AWS · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [New capabilities to optimize costs and improve scalability on Amazon RDS for SQL Server and Oracle](https://daily.dev/posts/new-capabilities-to-optimize-costs-and-improve-scalability-on-amazon-rds-for-sql-server-and-oracle-i7fkmvdh7) · AWS · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Amazon Aurora and Amazon RDS now support On-Demand Capacity Reservation](https://daily.dev/posts/amazon-aurora-and-amazon-rds-now-support-on-demand-capacity-reservation-kks3z383a) · AWS · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Amazon RDS now supports up to four storage modifications in 24 hours](https://daily.dev/posts/amazon-rds-now-supports-up-to-four-storage-modifications-in-24-hours-6z6fnixiv) · AWS · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#aws](https://daily.dev/tags/aws), [#oracle](https://daily.dev/tags/oracle), [#microsoft-sql-server](https://daily.dev/tags/microsoft-sql-server) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/amazon-rds-for-oracle-and-sql-server-now-support-storage-autoscaling-on-additional-storage-volumes-p8yt6sj6g) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Amazon RDS for Oracle and SQL Server now support storage autoscaling on additional storage volumes","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/amazon-rds-for-oracle-and-sql-server-now-support-storage-autoscaling-on-additional-storage-volumes-p8yt6sj6g","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/amazon-rds-for-oracle-and-sql-server-now-support-storage-autoscaling-on-additional-storage-volumes-p8yt6sj6g"},"datePublished":"2026-10-29T20:05:12.503Z","dateModified":"2026-10-29T20:05:38.224Z","description":"Amazon RDS for SQL Server and Amazon RDS for Oracle now support storage autoscaling on additional storage volumes.
