Yes this would be good feature, A homeserver like unraid would definately benifit from it. Main user media (original photos) stays on array (or raid/nas drive) nad thumbnails stays on the some cache (usually faster SSD) folder.

Hi guys, let me close this feature issue because of https://github.com/immich-app/immich/pull/488#issuecomment-1242629107. If there is anyone really need this feature, you can use my images ghcr.io/panoti/immich/backend:latest and ghcr.io/panoti/immich/ml-worker:latest for workaround, thanks all.
