# Resize the disk of a vector database

Make the disk of every node bigger from the **Resize Disk** tab. Each node starts with a 30 GB disk,
and you can grow it up to 1,000 GB.

## Before you begin

You need a database in the **Running** state and a role with Update permission on Vector Database.

A disk can only grow, so start with what you need. The size applies to every node, and each GB above 30 GB is charged per month per node; see
[Vector Database billing](/tir/vector-database/concepts/vector-database-billing/).

## Resize the disk

1. In **Manage Vector Database**, select the database's row, then open **Resize Disk**.
2. Set the new **Disk Size** in GB, above the current size and at most 1,000 GB. For a size that is
   refused, see
   [Troubleshooting Vector Database](/tir/vector-database/troubleshooting/vector-database/).
3. Select **Update**. To go back to the current size, select **Reset**.

The new size can take a few minutes to take effect. **Overview** then gives the new **Disk size per
node** under **Cluster Configuration**.

## What to do next

To add compute, [scale up the database](/tir/vector-database/how-to/scale-up-a-vector-database/). If
you cannot resize the disk, see
[Troubleshooting Vector Database](/tir/vector-database/troubleshooting/vector-database/).
