Photo Libraries tend to grow over the years, and sooner or later they will be too large to be stored on the system drive. We can move our Photos Libraries to an external drive, but the drive needs to be correctly formatted as MacOS Extended (Journaled) or APFS and locally mounted. Do not format the external drive for the Photos Library as case-sensitive, if the internal drive is not case-sensitive. A case-sensitive drive for the Photos Library can cause flag, if the drive is to be used from different user accounts or computers.
You should not use the drive you are using for Time Machine to host your Photos Library, or Time Machine cannot back up the library. See: Back up the Photos library on Mac - Apple SupportWARNING: If a Photos library is located on an external drive, don’t use Time Machine to store a backup on that external drive. The permissions for your Photos library may conflict with those for the Time Machine backup.Occasionally Photos will also not be able to connect to the library again, if you want to open it a second time.

Photos 3.0 on macOS 10.13 High Sierra introduced an added complication. If we move a library to an external drive, the library can no longer be backed up using Time Machine. We have to use a different backup method for the library, for example clone the external drive to a backup drive.https://support.apple.com/guide/photos/system-photo-library-overview-pht211de786
