Storing and Moving of Clips

For storage I'm using two My Book Duo devices attached via USB both with 12 TB of storage. The first Duo houses the "New" directory and the second houses the "Storing" directory. Once the first Duo has consumed all available space, it moves the oldest file from the first Duo to the second Duo (all as expected).

From what I've observed, this results in a lot of computing resource utilization moving files from one Duo to the other. Is there a way to configure Blue Iris to see the two Duo's as a single device? Or maybe writing to the first Duo until storage is exhausted and then continuing to write "New" clips to the second Duo. Once storage is exhausted on the second device return the the first Duo and overwrite the oldest file.

I'm open to other recommendations.

Thanks!!
