title: Azure Blob storage vs Azure Drive
body: <p>I am looking at moving to Windows Azure rather than typical hosting however I'm unsure how best to store images. After searching I've found that there are 2 possible solutions - Blob storage or Azure drive. </p>
  
  <p>I have looked into Blob storage and although I have begun to get used to the idea it will require quite a lot of modification to our CMS. In my searching I have just stumbled across Azure Drive which if I understand correctly creates a virtual hard drive which allows your application to run as it would on a normal server.</p>
  
  <p>Are there any disadvantages to Azure Drive over blob storage? It sounds like migrating current applications to Azure will be much easier with Azure Drive rather than Blob storage but I just wanted to check that there weren't any major flaws in this.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
