Storage Capacity for Fabric F16

Can someone tell me how much storage capacity is attached to Fabric F16 capacity ? If i fall short, can i increase this capacity ?

  • Hi Sanjay_Shah ,

     

    Capacity will talk about cores assigned to it. There is no storage size attached to capacities. Automatically Storage will be handled and charged separately. If you ran out of capacity units you can scale it to next level in Azure portal itself.

    Hi Sanjay_Shah 

     

    Regarding storage in Fabric, there are different types at the moment:

    • OneLake Storage: most Fabric items occupy OneLake Storage. This storage doesn't have a size limit binded to the capacity SKU. It pays based on the size and type of storage it actually occupies. If you delete some data, you will still be charged for storage for the deleted data within the set data retention period.
    • Mirroring: Mirroring has a certain limit for free Mirroring storage based on the purchased compute capacity SKU you provision. F16 offers 16 free terabytes (TB) worth of storage. The free Mirroring storage can only be used for storing Mirroring replica data—no other data. Free Mirroring storage is also only for purchased capacities; it does not come with the Fabric free trial. When the free Mirroring storage limit is exceeded, or the provisioned compute capacity is paused, OneLake storage is billed.
    • Power BI Storage: Power BI native storage is separate from OneLake storage and continues to be free up to the maximum storage correlated with your Power BI plan. Data stored in OneLake for Power BI import semantic models is included in the price of your Power BI licensing.

     

    As the pricing information may change in the future, for the latest Fabric Pricing, please go to Microsoft Fabric - Pricing | Microsoft Azure You can also talk to a sales specialist through that page for cost optimization suggestions. 

     

    Hope this would be helpful!
