Before I try anything I thought it would be best to ask here first.
Is it possible to use two seperate hard drives for one Movie Library in Plex Media Server? Or will I just have to go and buy an even larger hard drive?
Thank you very much for any help.
I can’t state for sure with the QNAP devices but I know this is possible on the Windows and FreeBSD servers… You just add the path to your library… I have seen where some NAS type servers only allow certain type media in specific places…
Okay, thanks for the reply. Appreciated.
I think I’ll just try and see how it goes. Its not like I’ll ruin anything, I guess.
Thanks again 
Success, too easy. It just adds an extra path to the second directory.
Excellent, thanks.
If I may augment here?
PMS has no hard limit to the number of directories you can add to any particular Library section.
If you have media in 20 different places (a bit crazy if you ask me), it will do it without complaint.
Okay, all these years I’ve been using PMS I didn’t know this. Maybe I should hang out here a few times a week to learn a bit more about Plex. Thanks for that.
I have two external hard drives and 53 libraries. The hard drives are 4 TB each. One drive has 1.76 TB storage left and the other one has 3.14 TB left. Many of my directories on the two drives are duplicates (Comedies, Drama, Documentaries, etc.), and each one has its own path. I also try to back up these drives every month depending upon how much media I put in. Also, being the chicken-sh*t I am, I have two 4 TB drives on stand-by.
53 libraries?? Thats a lot. I keep everything very organized myself. All tag’s are correct, everything is really clean and organized. All up I have about 22TB but really its 11TB as some of the disks are in RAID1 and some are just backups of others.
I don’t think you’re Chicken poop, its always smart to have as many disks as you can afford, just in case the poop hits the fan 
One of the projects I’m working on is going through each library for titles (special features, etc.) that don’t have metadata and putting in my own description (or cut and paste), release year, and also putting in a poster. As a retired person, it keeps me busy and out of trouble.
As FYI? we are speaking QNAP here?
QNAP doesn’t use drive letters
I have 3 TV shares. tv, tv2, tv3
They are set this way such that each can be backed up monolithically to a single 6TB HD.
