Pour libérer de l'espace sur le disque dur de mon iMac  je voudrais pouvoir modifier et sauvegarder mes fichiers photos Lightroom à partir d'un disque SSD externe. Actuellement, j'ai 90,000 photos pour un poids de 1.42 To. Que me conseillez vous?

Thank you for your help. Yes, I will use another SSD for backups.

Copy (not move) the photos in your operating system to the external SSD, then re-connect in Lightroom Classic, then when you are sure everything is working, you can delete the photos from the original drive. Follow the instructions in "Part 2 — Updating Folder Location" here: https://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm

 

But, your title worries me ... if you move the photos to an external SSD, then this same external SSD cannot be used for backup (a different SSD could be used as backup)
