PLEX Server Data Migration

What is this?

Before this update, PLEX Media Server would only use internal storage to store library data including catalog information and other useful metadata. With this release, PLEX Media Server users can use expanded storage (USB/SD). Now 16GB SHIELD owners can grow their library without impacting storage space.

How can I set this up?
