## HPC Scratch
26-
The HPC scratch is an all flash (VAST) file-system you can store research data needed during the analysis phase of their research projects. It provides ***temporary*** storage for datasets needed for running job. Your scratch directory (`/scratch/$USER`) has a limit of **5 TB** disk quota and **5,000,000 inodes** (files). The scratch file-system is available on all nodes (compute, login, etc.) on Torch as well as Data Transfer Node (gDTN).

- There are no backups of HPC Scratch file-system and you should not put important source code, scripts, libraries, executables in `/scratch`. These files should instead be stored in file-systems that are backed up, such as `/home` or [Research Project Space (RPS)](./04_research_project_space.mdx). Code can also be stored in a `git` repository.

- Upon the completion of your research study, you are encouraged to archive your data in the [HPC Archive file-system](./01_intro_and_data_management.mdx#hpc-archive).
