Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/10350

As someone who hoards quite a lot of models, I have an external hard drive that I would like to store experimental or lesser-used models that I can still load to Ollama.
Switching the OLLAMA_MODELS environment variable does work for this, however if I want to load models from my internal storage, I would have to constantly change this variable, so it's quite inconvenient. Also, setting it to something like this;
C:\Users\Username\.ollama\models;D:\Models
results in an error when trying to run ollama list;

Support for being able to set multiple directories for models would be a great quality of life addition imo :)
