Persistent files in Network Storage

I spun up a network volume. I've now added a GPU. I'm working on ComfyUI. When I download models, some of them are large and I'd like them to be persistent and would rather not have to download them each time. Also, obviously I'd like my images and videos to be saved persistently. Also, I'm going to make sure I'm using the right folders, etc. I noticed theres a ComfyUI folder in root (/), and also one in /workspace. Is /workspace temporary and wiped every time I attach a new GPU? Or its ok to save models etc there, or I should save elsewhere?

No it it's the opposite,workspace is usually the persistent disk,check your pod settings where do you mount the volume disk or network storage Depending on how your template( the one that you used) it seems like it symlinks or syncs up those 2 folder, and uses the / root one because it's faster /workspace or the network storage is usually slower because it's a decentralized storage

I just started the pod and didn't really select anything other than default
