May I install cryoSPRAC without SSD

Install, Configure and Update

Hi specialists,

I am going to install cryoSPRAC on a GPU node, but the clustal has no SSDs. So may I install it when there is no SSD in my computers?
Because I found the message at the end of installation.
--------------------- SSD Caching ----------------------------------

CryoSPARC requires a local fast SSD for optimal performance.
CryoSPARC includes a built-in SSD cache manager that will copy
and remove data as needed from the SSD, so you do not need to
transfer any data yourself to the SSD.

Please enter a path to a directory that resides on your SSD
for which the current user has write permissions. This is where
cryoSPARC will cache files.

Enter path (tab-completion is enabled)

Hi @jianhaoc, you can install cryoSPARC on a system without SSDs, as long as you provide an alternate location for a local drive on the node where you are running cryoSPARC. Unfortunately, the performance of cryoSPARC (speed) will suffer in this scenario.
