# POST /projects/{project}/moveDisk

`POST /projects/{project}/moveDisk`

Moves a persistent disk from one zone to another.
*Note*: The moveDisk API will be deprecated on September 29, 2026.

Starting September 29, 2025, you can't use the moveDisk API on new
projects. To move a disk to a different region or zone, follow the steps in
[Change the location of a
disk](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/migrate-to-hyperdisk#migrate-to-hd).

Projects that already use the moveDisk API can continue usage until
September 29, 2026.

Starting November 1, 2025, API responses will include a warning message in
the response body about the upcoming deprecation. You can skip the message
to continue using the service without interruption.
