Added another hdd , ?

[dunken]

Hi

How should it be done if i want to add another hdd in the system :

Lets say ive got E:\Download with the current torrents in . but that drive is almost full ..
So added another drive that has been assigned F:\Download

Is it just to alter the download path in qbitorrent options to F:\Download instead ?

All the "old" torrents will be there in the old drive aswell ?

Of course!
They are two completely different folders from the point of your operating system.

Then i can do it like that just alter the download path ?

No need to add categoires to diffrent drives ?

Yeah just when you add something, you can pick a different path.
You can also use a Junction Point:

I like this little program, very nice.
With this, you can make a junction like "drive_E" and then if you use that category, qBittorrent will save to that drive.
You'll figure it out.

Here's a simple breakdown:

What They Are: Junctions are a feature in the NTFS file system (the system Windows uses to organize files on your hard drive). They act like pointers or references to other files or folders.

How They're Like Shortcuts: Think of them like shortcuts on your desktop. When you click on a shortcut, it takes you to the file or folder it's pointing to. Junctions do something similar, but they work at a deeper, system level.

How They're Different from Shortcuts: Unlike regular shortcuts, software and Windows itself treat junctions as if they were the actual files or folders they're pointing to. This means programs can use a junction link to access files as if they were in that location, even though they might be somewhere else entirely.

Uses: They're handy for things like keeping files organized without moving them around, or making it seem like the same file is in multiple places at once. This can be useful for saving space or for complex file management tasks.

Creating Them: You can create junctions using command-line tools in Windows, like the Command Prompt.

Remember, while powerful, they can be a bit more complex to manage than regular shortcuts, especially if you're not familiar with command-line operations.
