DigitalOcean Volume Size Requirements | Generated by AI
The AMD Dev Cloud volume UI likely expects a specific format or unit. Let me check.Key finding: AMD Dev Cloud is actually built on DigitalOcean under the hood — it redirects to DigitalOcean and deploys GPU Droplets. So the volume UI is DigitalOcean’s.
The issue: DigitalOcean Volumes have a minimum size of 1 GiB and the field expects an integer in GiB, but there’s also a minimum of 1 GiB and maximum of 16,384 GiB. The most common cause of “invalid size” when typing 200 is:
- You’re in the wrong field — it might expect
200 GiBbut the UI shows a dropdown for units (GiB vs TiB) and you may have the unit set wrong, making it interpret as TiB (which at 200 TiB exceeds the 16 TB max) - The field requires a minimum — DO Volumes minimum is 1 GiB, but some GPU Droplet volume configs have a higher minimum (sometimes 10 GiB)
- Trailing space or non-numeric character got pasted in
Quick fixes to try:
- Type
100instead of200— rule out a max cap - Check if there’s a unit selector next to the field — make sure it’s set to GiB not TiB
- Try
50to confirm the field works at all - Clear the field completely and retype (don’t paste)
Since it’s DO under the hood, the valid range is 1–16384 GiB — so 200 as GiB should be fine in theory. Most likely it’s a unit mismatch in the UI dropdown.
