Creating a Storage Volume

Storage volumes let you persist data across instance deployments. Follow these steps to create one.

​
Create a Volume

1

Navigate to Storage

Go to Dashboard → Storage from the sidebar.
2

Click Create Volume

Click the Create Volume button in the top right.
3

Enter a Name

Give your volume a descriptive name (e.g., training-data, model-checkpoints).
4

Set the Size

Use the size slider to select the volume size in GB. You can type a specific value or drag the slider.
5

Select a Storage Backend

Choose from:
  • Wasabi — Global regions, cost-effective, no egress fees
  • AWS S3 — Low-latency, many regions
  • Backblaze B2 — Budget-friendly
6

Select a Region

Pick the region closest to where you’ll deploy instances for the best performance.
7

Create

Click Create to provision your volume. It will be ready to mount within seconds.

Sizing Guidelines

Use CaseRecommended SizeNotes
Small model checkpoints10–50 GBFine-tuning LoRAs, small models
Medium datasets50–200 GBImageNet subsets, text corpora
Large model weights200–500 GBFull LLM weights (7B–70B)
Large-scale training500 GB–1 TB+Multi-epoch training with checkpoints
Start with a smaller volume and resize later. You can always increase the size, but you cannot decrease it.

​
Cost Calculation

Storage is billed at $0.03/GB/month, charged weekly. Formula: 
Weekly cost = (Volume size in GB × $0.03) / 4
Examples:
Volume SizeWeekly CostMonthly Cost
25 GB~$0.19$0.75
100 GB~$0.75$3.00
500 GB~$3.75$15.00

​
Resizing a Volume

You can increase a volume’s size at any time:
  1. Go to Dashboard → Storage
  2. Click on the volume you want to resize
  3. Increase the size using the slider or input field
  4. Confirm the change
Volume size can only be increased, never decreased. Plan your initial size accordingly.

​
Deleting a Volume

1

Unmount First

Make sure the volume is not currently mounted to any running instance.
2

Delete

Go to Dashboard → Storage, find the volume, and click Delete.
3

Confirm

Confirm the deletion in the dialog.
Deleting a volume is permanent. All data stored in the volume will be lost and cannot be recovered.
