I've got a customer that wants to add storage space in order to their databases to grow. How do I span a single database across 2 drives?

Thanks

You can make a new filegroup.

Thanks for your quick reply. I'm pretty new to SQL and I'm not sure what "making a new filegroup" means exactly.

Add NDF files and put in separate Filegroup spreading accross 2 Drives(With MDF in 1 drive and log in other)to reduce I/O contention issues.
