Oct 10, 2016 8:57 PMby Xu.Xu,Hey, LarryHN,
I have OS X El Capitan version 10.11.6. and Photos version is 1.5.
I just dragged Photos Library.photoslibrary and dropped to the external SSD drive I just bought:
Samsung T3 Portable SSD - 250GB - USB 3.1 External SSD (MU-PT250B/AM)

The Photos library can not be used on an exFFAT formatted drive
You need to erase adn reformat the drive or use a different drive

Oct 11, 2016 9:20 AMby Xu.Xu,Believe it or not, the problem was solved after I updated my OS to MacOS Sierra version 10.12. I can access all photos the same way I used to do. But whenever I tried to eject the portable ssd, it tells me some other program may be using it. So I had to force eject it. Then when I reconnected it, it always gave me the error message:Disk not ejected properly.
