You’re right to pause before moving anything — a 256GB system SSD filling up is stressful, especially after spending two hours getting the second drive working. Please don’t delete or repartition the 256GB SparkBox drive. SparkBox has one supported Media Root, so it cannot currently combine a 2TB drive plus two 6TB drives into one system-wide storage pool, and adding another disk does not expand the system disk automatically. The safe supported direction is to choose one large drive as the Media Root and move the media library there; changing to a different Media Root is a migration, not a wipe. Before I give you the exact safe next step, what hardware/platform is this (UGREEN NAS, another NAS, Linux, or Windows/WSL), what SparkBox version are you running, and where is the 2TB drive mounted now? Also, are the two 6TB drives already formatted and visible to the host? I agree that adding storage should be easier from Settings; once I know the platform and current layout, I’ll give you one safe path for the movie library and a separate answer for Immich.

One useful update while we wait for the layout details: the installer now warns when it puts SparkBox’s data folder on the system disk even though a larger mounted drive is available, and tells you how to choose that larger drive. That does not combine multiple drives or safely move an existing library by itself, so please keep the disks as they are for now. When you reply with the NAS/OS, SparkBox version, current 2TB mount, and whether the two 6TB drives are formatted and visible, I can give you the right migration path without risking the existing files.
