How do I make it so my vault qube uses my discrete HDD for its file storage? Might be way too obvious but I haven’t yet figured out how to make this happen.

Short version: move the vault’s private volume to a storage pool that points at the HDD, rather than mounting the disk inside vault. After the pool exists and the vault qube is shut down, use qvm-volume move vault:private <pool-name>. Also check the disk-encryption side of it: if that HDD is separate/removable, the vault data is only as protected as the storage layer it lands on.
There’s no such move command. The easiest way to move a qube’s storage into another pool is to clone the whole qube and then remove the original one:
qvm-clone -P <pool-name> <old-qube> <new-qube> && qvm-remove <old-qube>
