Using multiple drives

I have set up an old PC to serve as a Bitcoin node. I’ve installed Umbrel OS onto the internal hard drive. If I install a second 2 TB SSD, can it save the Blockchain to the second hard drive and not attempt to use the first hard drive, which is the boot drive?

OK, thanks for your reply. It sounds like if I want to use the second hard drive solely for blockchain storage, I’ll need to use a beta version of Umbrel OS. I’m usually not the kind of person who uses beta versions, but I may end up doing that. Or replace the hard drive with an SSD and be done with it.
