Persistent Disk

GPU Container provides High-Performance Storage (HPS) remaining for the duration of a container’s life. It functions similary to a hard disk, allowing you to store data that needs to be retained even if the container is stopped.

Key characteristics:

  • Available until the container is deleted permanently
  • Prevent data loss by storing data, models, or files that need to be preserved across container restarts or reconfigurations

Temporary Disk

Temporary disk ( NVME ) is a type of storage that provides temporary storage for a container. Any data stored on the temporary disk will be lost when the container is stopped or deleted so make sure to back up important data before shutting down your container.

Storage type comparison

Feature Temporary Disk Persistent Disk
Data persistence Lost on stop Retained until container deletion
Lifecycle Tied directly to the container’s active session Tied to the container’s lease period
Performance Fastest (locally attached) Reliable, generally slower than temporary disk
Capacity Fixed according to the selected GPU instance Selectable at creation
Cost FREE $ 0.0066 GB/hour
Best for Temporary session data, cache Persistent application data, models, datasets
