## Unmounting a Block Storage volume


It is important to unmount a volume from the operating system using the `umount` command to avoid data loss before [removing the volume](/storage/block/how-to/detach-a-volume/) from the machine.

Unmounting a volume means detaching it from the operating system so it is no longer accessible. You can do this if you want to stop using it, prevent data corruption, or plan to [detach it](/storage/block/how-to/detach-a-volume/) from your Instance and attach it to another. This page shows you how to unmount a volume from the operating system using the `umount` command.

To use **[Block Storage Low Latency](/storage/block/) 15k**, your Instance must have at least **3 GiB/s of block bandwidth**.
You can verify if an Instance type meets this requirement by consulting the [Scaleway Instances internet and Block Storage bandwidth overview](/compute/instances/reference-content/instances-bandwidth-overview/) documentation.

Alternatively, use the [Instances API](https://www.scaleway.com/en/developers/api/instance/#path-instance-types-list-instance-types) to check the `block_bandwidth` field at `/instance/v1/zones/{zone}/products/servers`.
