Not sure if this has been requested before but it’d be useful if sab could auto choose alternate directories (dl/extract) based on the size of the NZB.
For example, if the NZB is greater than 50GB
-set directory to a large SATA multi TB drive
if the NZB is less than 50GB
-set directory to a smaller NVME multi GB drive or a RAM drive
Thanks for considering.
Different Download/Extraction Directories (depending on NZB size)
Re: Different Download/Extraction Directories (depending on NZB size)
I think you can:
Create two categories
BIG, pointing to SATA
SMALL, pointing to NVME
Write a pre-queue script that assigns category based on size. See https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/scripts/pre-queue-scripts

Indeed, the example script on the page sander links has exactly what you need. Just instead of priority, you can set a category.
