backups could be on ssd as well as they'll generally be small
perfect thanks. host path goes on ssd right, i feel like that one is quite clear? also what is Immich Uploads Storage why is that one on ssd? is that just like where the file i upload goes before it gets sorted into video or library?
I'm not sure what "host path" is referencing, sorry
The uploads location is where all media is stored unless the storage template is enabled & processes a job. I suppose it may make more sense to put it on the HDD so it's a move operation instead of a copy/delete
its not a thing thats why lol i just miss read this as 2 different things

haha fair enough
