The EXS24 will only see it in the Sampler Intstruments folder -- when you
select the gig format instrument will then run its conversion routine and
extract the audio files embedded in the Gig archive to its own folder -- a
folder called DLS-Giga Samples within your Logic folder. 

You can move these files to your samples directory after this conversion if you
want to. There is some argument for sharing the load across more than one disc
if you have disk streaming on -- you could test it and see what works best on
your machine.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
