Best Practice for storing MacOS iPhotos [closed]

Solution 1:

Many people put their entire home folder on a drive that’s not the SSD / primary internal drive since the IO speed needed to access these files is rarely as sensitive as the OS itself. I don’t know about best practice, but first moving the photo library to another drive is an excellent start if you intend to have more library storage than the boot drive can accommodate. This has been stable for me for a decade. I do also use a tool to manage duplicated / merge libraries since sometimes I choose to import into a second library.
