Add file to Database

  • I have 1 mdf file and 1 ndf file for a database of 1TB, now i want to add another data file which can be pointed to another drive and also move half of the data to the new file so that both drives have enough space.

  • I would create a new filegroup in the desired drive, once you have it there you can reorg tables/indexes the way better fits your I/O strategy.
