volume
A volume is a detachable block storage device. You can think of it as a USB
hard drive. It can only be attached to one instance at a time.
volume type
Providers may support multiple types of volumes; at Rackspace, a volume
can either be ``SSD`` (solid state disk: expensive, high-performance) or
``SATA`` (serial attached storage: regular disks, less expensive).
snapshot
A snapshot is a point-in-time copy of the data contained in a volume.
