I'm looking for a straightforward method to store photo library on an external device. Apple instructions warn to not "store your library on a removable storage device like an SD card or USB flash drive" nor internet, cloud-based option. Then what other options are there? Thanks.
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15
Use a "proper" SSD instead SD card or USB flash drive which are not so robust.
And use APFS (SSD) or Mac OS Extended (HDD) because non-Mac formats like exFat or NTFS are not supported. Check that "Finder > Get Info: "Ignore ownership on this volume" is set although it should be the default.
...and remember to backup also the external drive.

Very helpful, thank you.
