    i would not recommend using the SSD to run local LLMS,its slow
    best: VRAM only
    good: VRAM + RAM
    bad: Swapping

      I don’t think they’re insinuating running inferences from the SSD. But you need somewhere to store the weights for the GPU to load.

        i am trying to say: you need the SSD to store it but not swap to it due to its slowness
