Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/7997

Model files adds up real fast, and my internal disk is near full after pulling a few 72b models. It would be great if OLLAMA_MODELS can be a colon separated string with multiple paths. Then the pull and run command should automatically decide which folder to put new models to and allow overwritting with a switch.

Also: once this is implemented, an mv command to move models around would be useful too.

If this were implemented, it would be convenient if some paths could be read-only, e.g. for site-wide locations where an administrator pre-installed models.

I havn't tried yet, but you might be able to set the model folder to be on your internal drive and have aliases to the models on the other one. It would require manually adding the aliases though, so it's probally not quite what you're looking for.
