## How can I convert a Block Storage legacy volume into a Block Storage Low Latency volume?

Currently, there is no direct way to change the storage class of a volume while preserving its ID.

However, you can use the snapshot export/import feature as a temporary solution to transition a Block Storage legacy volume into a Block Storage Low Latency volume.

<Message type="important">
The process below requires manual intervention and **does not preserve the original volume's ID**.
While this approach allows you to transition to a Block Storage Low Latency volume, it is only a workaround.

1. [Export a snapshot of your Block Storage volume](/compute/instances/api-cli/snapshot-import-export-feature/#exporting-snapshots).
2. [Import the snapshot into a new Low Latency volume](/compute/instances/api-cli/snapshot-import-export-feature/#importing-snapshots).

Find out how to [migrate your Block Storage volumes and snapshots](/compute/instances/how-to/migrate-volumes-snapshots-to-sbs/) from the Instance API to the Block Storage API.
