Doubt about new partition for movies - Drake97 - 2024-04-13
Hello y'all,
I currently have 2 hard drives in my small multimedia server, however, it has been filling up very fast based on the content that I'm putting, my question is, can I also create a multimedia partition within the 256GB SSD where I have installed my OS (Ubuntu) ?
I read that it is not the idea to leave it in the home partition or something like that, so I ask for help to know where to create a correct folder inside the SSD of the OS to be able to leave a couple of movies there.
Here are my current partitions:

Not sure I'd create it anywhere. I'd adjust your expectations for media. Honestly, 3 TB (or TiB? If I'm reading correctly) isn't much for media. If you're already filling that up, an extra 128 GB isn't going to take you far. Highly recommend you leave the OS drive strictly for the OS and find a way to get more storage or start transcoding your media to a more suitable format.
I thought I would never fill up my drives and now I'm at 17.5/18 TB with two new 14 TB drives going in soon. I wouldn't mess with using your very small SSD for media storage for a number of reasons, most of all because a 128 GB OS space could easily fill up and put you in a tough spot.

in the end I will buy an enclosure/HDD dual bay that allows me to put 2 HDD's in it, which goes via USB 3.0 to my server, which is quite convenient and does not slow down the reading/writing of files at all.
thanks anyway for the suggestion and the recommendation.
