January 22, 201610 yr Sorry the subject line may not be as descriptive as I'd like .... I have 3 drives in my system (1 parity, 2 data drives [1Tb Seagate, 500Gb WDC]). I have a share called Media, inside that I have the following folders Movies, TV & Photos. I would like to specify that Photos use a specific drive, 500Gb WDC. But, I don't want to create Photos as a share on its own. I know how setup a share to use or exclude a specific drive but this does not suit my purpose. I want to retain the following share structure: \\tower\Media\TV \Movies \Photos But \\Tower\Media\Photos needs to be on Drive 2 (500Gb WDC). How can I do this please?
January 22, 201610 yr Community Expert I think if you do manual split level for the share and put the folder on the disk you want it to be on unRAID will continue to write files for that folder to that disk since you have told it not to split folders for that share. That may not be what you want for the other folders in the share though. Another approach would be to write directly to the disk instead of the user share. You could still read them from the share.

Yup.. but then also the "Movies" folder will be limited to one disk... Probably the writing to disk share or photos is the easiest...
