Manage disk size

This guide outlines how to manage your Studio's disk size to optimize its performance. For more insights on data preparation read our in-depth guide.

Upgrade disk space

Studios come with a 400GB high-performance disk by default. To expand disk space and upgrade network speeds use a Data Prep Studio. Data Prep Studios offer disk sizes of 3TB, 8TB, or 12TB. However, keep in mind that downgrading from a Data Prep Studio isn't possible if the disk holds more than 300GB of data.

Decrease Disk Space

For those who have upgraded and have less than 300GB on their disk, downgrading is a straightforward process. If your disk contains more than 300GB, you must first reduce your data to less than 300GB to switch machines.

Use Studio as a dataset

When dealing with large datasets, finish preparing your data in a Studio, name it as the dataset and put it to sleep. This dataset can be accessed by any other Studio in the teamspace.

Performing high-demand tasks like training in a dataset Studio can lead to slow operations. It's recommended to use separate Studios for dataset management and your main work.
