Hi,<br />
<br />
We have installed a new SharePoint 2013 server on a windows server 2012 Hyper V VM and we will be migrating files from a file server onto document libraries on SharePoint. The problem is that we currently do not have enough capacity on the SharePoint C: drive to move the files across. <br />
<br />
We are thinking of buying some more drives to install on the VM 2012 host to accommodate for the disk space, We were thinking of creating a new VHD to add to the VM that will allow us to store all the files. <br />
<br />
My question is, is it possible to point a SharePoint library to a specific hard disk? &nbsp;<br />
Is there an easy way to migrating data from a file server to SharePoint?

Hyper-V is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems and supersedes Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT. A server computer running Hyper-V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks. Hyper-V Server supports remote access via Remote Desktop Connection. Administration and configuration of the host OS and the guest virtual machines is generally done over the network.

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
