Rather than moving the entire “Plex Media Server” directory (mine is around 18GB) I would like to just separate the Cache folder. Is this actually possible?

I’m thinking that I could possibly keep the Cache and Transcoding Temp on a RAM Drive, whilst keeping the metadata etc on my SSD (I don’t have enough RAM for the whole lot).
