Vercel Sandbox with Drives now starts up to 2.4x faster
Vercel Sandboxes using Drives now start faster without SDK or configuration changes: median creation fell from 1.7s to 0.7s, and p95 from 2.2s to 1.6s.
For Vercel Sandboxes that mount Drives, median creation time fell from **1.7s to 0.7s**, while p95 fell from **2.2s to 1.6s**. The improvement applies automatically.
Builders using these sandboxes can expect shorter startup waits without changing their SDK version or configuration. Pricing is unchanged.

Builders using these sandboxes can expect shorter startup waits without changing their SDK version or configuration. Pricing is unchanged. The material reports only median and p95 creation times; it does not give a measurement window or explain performance for sandboxes that do not use Drives.
This supplies measured startup improvements for the specific case of Sandboxes mounting Drives: median creation time drops from 1.7s to 0.7s and p95 from 2.2s to 1.6s, automatically and at unchanged pricing. It does not establish a change for sandboxes without Drives or explain end-to-end task speed.
