**Storage Link Notes**

* If you click **"Storage No Link",** the machine will be used without linked storage, and only the default storage capacity will be available. In this case, the data you worked on will be lost after the machine is returned.
* If you click "**Create a new storage**" you will be redirected to the storage list, where you can create a new ‘hourly plan storage’. If you want to create a ‘long term plan storage’, please contact to [runyour@mondrian.ai](mailto:runyour@mondrian.ai)
