A Waste of Space

[Jacob Roecker]

I'm running FreeNAS as a Plex Server utilizing an external HDD for storage. The problem is, I don't have as many movies on this system to justify using the 1.5TB external. Besides, the external uses USB and is a bit slow.

They system itself has a 240GB SSD internally running the OS. It seems that the OS is pretty light weight and the SSD has plenty of space left on it for videos, but how do I move the videos over and set up the SSD so it can host them using the Plex plugin? Do I need to reinstall and partition?

Totally a NOOB here folks.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jacob,

The short answer is you don't.

Will,

Thank you. That totally makes sense. I'll get things going on a thumb drive tomorrow and get this up and running. Glad you were able to chime in so quickly.
