There is a limit of 500 iops for one standard virtual disk you can increase disks performance by adding more virtual disks and creating a striped volume according to azure billing system you will pay only for used space not for requested space.
Azure standard storage account iops.
This account type is designed for workloads with high iops high throughput with consistent low latency.
Premium files use a unique storage account called filestorage.
Blobs files queues tables and disks.
See the azure storage account scale targets section for these limits.
20 000 requests per second.
For example a standard gs5 vm has 80 000 iops limit.
Premium filestorage account limits.
Standard storage account limits.
Each high scale vm size also has a specific iops limit that it can sustain.
Maximum storage account capacity.
The storage account provides a unique namespace for your azure storage data that is accessible from anywhere in the world over http or https.
For example a p50 disk provisions 7500 iops.
The new azure standard ssd disks store data on solid state drives ssds like our existing premium storage disks.

Whereas our standard hdd disks store data on hard disk drive hdd.
An azure storage account contains all of your azure storage data objects.
With the addition of standard ssd azure now offers three types of persistent disks for use with azure virtual machines optimized for different workload requirements.
Maximum ingress 1 per storage account regions other than us and europe 5 gbps if ra grs grs is enabled 10 gbps for lrs zrs 2.
A standard storage account has a maximum total request rate of 20 000 iops.
For standard storage accounts.
The total iops across all of your virtual machine disks in a standard storage account should not exceed this limit.
Azure standard ssds are a cost effective storage option optimized for workloads that need consistent performance at lower iops levels.
Maximum request rate 1 per storage account.
When you attach a premium storage disk to your high scale vm azure provisions for you a guaranteed number of iops as per the disk specification.
Maximum number of blob containers blobs file shares tables queues entities or messages per storage account.
You can use the vm level and disk level metrics to track the performance and setup alerts as needed.
Azure storage allocates required resources when you create a disk and applies proactive and reactive balancing of resources to handle the traffic level.
