Cost for AWS GPU instances is not that high (relative to purchasing a GPU).
The amount of time to transfer hundreds of gigabytes will be dwarfed by the time savings from using GPU compute.
Was there a concrete reason you didn't go that route?

For me, it wasn’t about time savings – I had a limited timeframe, and wanted to get the models as accurate as possible within the time. Transferring the data would have taken longer than the time I had to run the training, and I while the model would have been a lot more accurate, this wasn’t too important for my paper.
