I have an 8tb harddrive and 256gb sdd and I want to use them as a game drive on linux. I’m not sure what’s the best method for setting that up is or if it’s even a good idea.

    Haven’t heard about anybody doing it for a long time. Nowadays flash drivers are big, so people just use them for the fast parts and disks for what can be slow.

    I’d use flash for storing the main system, and mount the disk in a directory where you will keep the large media, probably as a subdir of your home.

      It’s how any unraid system works. Your cache drive for uploads and then they get moved with the mover later. Not the same situation as OP though.
