Using NSA as storage with my desktop Plex Server

I am using my desktop as my Plex server and then, Using several NAS units to store my media. I set up several libraries such as Movies, TVshows Documentaries and such… Everything is working fine and smooth but, I’ve got to the point that my “Movie” NAS is getting full. In my Desktop Server I titled this Movies NAS and when looking for a movie to watch I just go to the library and look for the movie, press and it plays. But, Like I mentioned this NAS is about out of space and I have a 2nd NAS that I will bring on line… Is there a way to have my Movie NAS library look at 2 NAS storage devices and pull the files or, Do I have to set up completely different library and split the movies to them Like Movies NAS 1 and Movies NAS2? I’ve not tried anything yet, but wanted to get a suggestion of what would be the best way to handle this… I’d really like to have them under 1 library with the 2 NAS units… Sound like it can be done? If not guess I’ll take the other approach with 2 librarys. Thank in advance. PS, I already Own the 2nd NAS.

On the second NAS create a movie folder and mount it to the PMS server as another drive. add that additional drive to the Movie library like you did the first.

Thanks for the quick reply. Ok So If I create a new Movie Folder on NAS2 all I have to do is point my Movie Nas Library to that folder as well, meaning that Library on the PMS has 2 locations to search for files? Or, I have to set up a complete new Media Library in PMS and then Point to that one? Sorry for being so dumb …

Yes, you can add multiple folders to one library (Manage Library > Edit… > Add folders)
