    What do you want to accomplish by adding more files? What other drives do you have available to you?

    Because the content database size is 70 GB now and it will grow to 150GB in few months.So, creating multiple datafiles will improve performance right? thats I want accomplish.. I have an empty F drive and I want create and place secondary files on F drive.

    But how to transfer/distribute existing data on D drive to F drive?

    Create another database file either through SQL Management Studio or through Alter database command and then cap the existing file so that it will not grow further.

    Why do you want to transfer contents for existing file to newly created file?

    Adding another file will help, but only if it is on another physical device. Just checking 🙂
