Standard ssd offers a good entry level experience for those who wish to move to the cloud especially if you experience issues with the variance of workloads running on your hdd solutions on premises.
Each high scale vm size also has a specific iops limit that it can sustain.
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.
The storage account provides a unique namespace for your azure storage data that is accessible from anywhere in the world over http or https.
This account type is designed for workloads with high iops high throughput with consistent low latency.
