**Volume disks** provide persistent storage that is preserved throughout the Pod's lease, functioning like a dedicated hard drive. Data stored in the volume disk directory (`/workspace` by default) persists when you stop the Pod, but is erased when the Pod is deleted.

Optional [network volumes](/pods/storage/network-volumes) provide more flexible permanent storage that can be transferred between Pods, replacing the volume disk when attached. When using a Pod with network volume attached, you can safely delete your Pod without losing the data stored in your network volume directory (`/workspace` by default).
