+You can use :doc:`Aiven CLI ` to add or remove additional storage by :ref:`updating the service configuration ` using command ``avn service update`` with flag ``--disk-space-gib``. Specify the value for the flag as the total disk space that you need for your service.
+For example, if you use a ``Startup-4`` plan with a 80-GiB disk by default and you would like to add an extra 10-GiB disk, the value that the ``--disk-space-gib`` flag requires is ``90``.

+ - When you perform a service upgrade or downgrade horizontally, remember to include all additional disks the service uses. For example, when switching from ``Startup-4`` to ``Business-4`` or from ``Business-4`` to ``Startup-4``, include all the additional disks available for this service.
+ - Similarly, when you fork an existing service, include all additional disks the service uses.
