I've been a bit hung up on split levels and never really found one for how I like to organize my files. But then I noticed this one: Automatically split any directory as required.

 

Lets say have have a disk with movies and series and whatever; I use allocation method "high water" and "automatically split...", does that mean that only the last folder on a disk would end up being on multiple disks? like before it jumps to disk 2 after hitting the high water mark? Or could any directory be split at all times?

 

If the first scenario is the case, this might be the best option for me. I guess I could just delete and move the directory again then, if I really wanted to have it all on one drive? Or am I missing something here?

 

Any pros and cons for this option? Any help would be much appreciated

Sorry to bump, but nobody knows the answer to this? Or is it pretty obvious and I'm just slow?

 

Would like to be sure how it works before I move terabytes of data.

This in principle.

 

note that it is the last folder before a cutover to another disk, not just the last folder on the whole drive.

great, thanks! i'll give it a shot
