RunPod for WAN 2.2 - Network Storage Needed?

I've been using Google Colab along with my crappy laptop for most of my image creation efforts, but time to get something faster and cheaper. I've signed up for RunPod and was preparing to deploy Hearmeman's WAN-Template, but am trying to figure out if I need to use Secure and Network Storage.

I vaguely remember seeing a comment from Hearmeman saying network storage isn't required, so was debating going with the Community Cloud since it is cheaper, but don't want to shoot myself in the foot.

What are the rest of you doing when you deploy a Pod?
