A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]
There can only be one model path to ollama right now. And if ollama is installed naively on the native os it will use the immediate default path. The models can easily sum up to hundreds of GB. Additional model paths are required due to limitations in high speed nvme storage drives.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add additional paths for ollama to find its models, and a default folder, where all the models are put when pulling them down from the online library. This would let people use multiple drives for ollama.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The alternative is to delete them and and keep pulling them down from the web when necessary. This will just cause unnecessary traffic to the ollama model host.
