I wish it was that simple. I have over 15 TB of videos and images as far back as the 1970s. Mostly in raw format or slog format. Copying and pasting an instance would take me a ton of time.
Yeah I wouldnt trust immich with directly storing it myself
Get that stuff off on its own and have immich access that as shown in Louis Rossmann's setup video
Think of it like having a dedicated steam drive with the os on its own, so if you have to format or decide to distrohop, you don't have to download and reinstall a dozen +250GB games
