Is This Split Level Correct For My Use Case

[smush]

Planning on transitioning to 1 share containing multiple folders for the purpose of hardlinks.

 

My new structure will look like this

Data\Media\Movies\Movie 1\All Movie 1 files

Data\Media\TVShows\TVShow 1\All Seasons\Episode files

 

I would like for all episodes of a season to be contained together but multiple seasons can spread to other disks if needed which I think would require split level 4? However that would mean the split for the movies could end up having the movie file and the subtitle file on different disks if I have understood correctly?

 

If that is the case what if in the folders for each movie was just a movie file nothing else? I'm guessing the files of Movie 1 for example wouldn't get spread to multiple disks because there's only 1 file (the actual movie itself) in the Movie 1 folder? What would happen if for example when Movie 2 is trying to be copied to disk 1 but it doesn't have enough space? Would it be put on disk 2 as Data\Media\Movies\Movie 2\Movie 2.mkv

or would it just be Movie 2.mkv?
