Can I relocate ~/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Media to another drive?

Wondering if there's a preferred way to relocate the ~/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Media folder on my Mac.  While I have oodles of terabytes of drive space available, my boot drive is a 120GB SSD and today while I was trying to figure out why it was nearly full I discovered that the aforementioned directory is taking up about 1/3 of the drive by itself.  Not cool, man.  Not cool.

 

Ideally there'd be an option for this that I've just overlooked, in which case I'll feel stupid but be happy just to know the location.  Barring that, I imagine I can move the whole Plex Media Server folder to another drive, then create a symlink or a hard link to it in the App Support folder.  If I have to do the latter, does anyone know if a symlink or a hard link is preferred?  Been too long since I did this stuff regularly and I've forgotten way too much.

 

If this isn't a built-in function of PMS, I think I'll add it to the requested features thread.  The server's taking up way too much space unexpectedly to not have a way to relocate it without resorting to technical means.

 

Thanks,

Brent
