Disk Space and Storage Options¶

Size: 100 GB
Configuration: Part of a larger 300 TB disk, not saved, under RAID 4.
Purpose: This partition is dedicated to general software that is used across various projects. It is not suitable for personal data storage.
Example: Store shared applications and tools that need to be accessed by all users.

Size: 300 TB
Configuration: Part of the primary 300 TB disk, not saved, under RAID 4.
Purpose: Designed for storing your active project data.
Example: Use this space for ongoing projects where data accessibility and speed are crucial.

Size: 100 TB
Purpose: This disk is intended for data storage related to active projects and collaborations.
Example: Ideal for storing large datasets that are frequently accessed and modified during the course of your research.

Size: 100 TB
Purpose: Allocated for archiving purposes.
Example: Use this space to store completed project data or historical data that is accessed infrequently.

Size: 860 GB
Configuration: Local disk, not saved, not under RAID.
Purpose: This disk is recommended for storing temporary files that are specific to individual jobs or sessions.
Example: Temporarily store intermediate computation results, logs, or files that are required for running short-term processes.

Size: 7 TB
Configuration: Distributed file system, not saved, not under RAID, replicated across 3 nodes.
Purpose: Enables shared access to data across different nodes, facilitating collaboration and data sharing among various jobs.
Example: Store data that needs to be accessed or modified by multiple jobs running on different nodes, such as input files for simulations that are processed in parallel.
Note: GlusterFS uses the space available on /data disks of individual nodes, making it accessible across the cluster. This shared space is ideal for temporary data needed during job runs but should not be used for long-term storage due to its non-redundant configuration.
