=Storage Advice=
Solid state hard drives are preferred for temporary storage as they are faster to write to than traditional hard drives. Large data files can then be transferred to a more permanent location.

=Common Questions Answered (FAQ)=
==How do I reliably select the correct GPU on systems with multiple GPUs?==
You may encounter issues like these:
* The order of GPUs in Task Manager does not match the order of GPUs for TUFLOW.
* The order of GPUs in the `nvidia-smi` tool does not match the order of GPUs for TUFLOW.
* Non-NVIDIA GPUs or GPUs you do not want to use interfere with GPU selection.
You can resolve these issues by reading about <u>[[configure_CUDA_device_selection | specifying the exact CUDA-capable GPUs]]</u> you want to be available to CUDA-enabled applications like TUFLOW.
