On a Windows 2000 server, I have raid5 scsi 3 x 10,000 rpm which is nearly full. The biggest part of this storage is a single folder where our dedicated s/w autosaves it's files to.

I don't want to set up a new array yet, but do need to increase the capacity of the folder. So, I thought about mounting an IDE drive in the folder.

The drive is 5400rpm. I want to manually move older files to this new drive periodically, freeing up space on the existing faster drive for new files. Older files will rarely if ever be accessed, so they are ok on the slower drive.

The app will just see the same folder as before and save a file as normal. I was wondering which physical drive will a file be saved to. If it continues to write to the old faster drive until it finds no free space and then starts to write to the new drive this would be ideal as I could manually move files to keep space on the existing drive. If it randomly writes to either drive, or to the new drive first, I a bit stumped.
