Volume
Answer in brief
A volume is a disk that keeps your files after the machine it was attached to has stopped.
Volume in practice
Model files and datasets are large. Without a volume you download them again at the start of every session, and that download is paid GPU time.
A volume is its own line on the bill, charged for as long as it exists. On Runcrate, volumes keep files between instances and are paid from the same prepaid balance as the GPU.
