How to configure Immich or UGOS to upload new photos to SSD and move them daily to HDD?

Hi everyone,

I’m running Immich via Portainer. My setup is:

• 12 TB HDD in raid1 for RAW photos
• 1TB SSD for rest (db, thumbnails, encoded videos)

Right now, when I take a photo, Immich instantly uploads it to my NAS (HDD). Even a single photo spins up the HDD, which I want to avoid.

I’d like to configure it so that:

1. All new photos initially upload to the SSD.
2. Once per day (at a specific hour), photos are moved from SSD to HDD.
3. Immich recognizes both SSD and HDD as one storage location, so the database and app work seamlessly.

I’m using a Ugreen NAS DXP4800 with UGOS.

Has anyone done something like this, or can suggest a way to set it up safely without breaking Immich’s database or file indexing?

Thanks in advance!
