# Distribute Content component Data Across Multiple Disks

If your index data becomes too big to store on one volume (as the stored terms, references, content, and so on increase in size), you can store the data files across multiple disk partitions.

To distribute Content data

1. Open the Content component configuration file in a text editor.

2. Find the `[Paths]` section, or create one if it does not exist.

3. Set the path parameters to the full paths to the directories where you want to store the corresponding part of the index. The following paths have the largest impact on performance:

   Parameter | Description
   --- | ---
   `DynTermPath` | The directory that contains conceptual data.
   `NodeTablePath` | The directory that contains content and structured data.
   `StatusPath` | The directory that contains status files, and data that is streamed over the network before indexing.

   For a full list of available parameters, refer to the Content component Help.

4. Save and close the configuration file.

5. Restart the Content component for your changes to take effect.

For example:

    [Paths]
    DyntermPath=C:\Content\dynterm
    NodetablePath=D:\Content\nodetable
    StatusPath=E:\Content\status
    RefIndexPath=F:\Content\refindex
    MainPath=G:\Content\main
    TagPath=H:\Content\tagindex
