OK...so it's not me who has moved to a Mac....it's my brother, who I told I'd see what the folks here have to say....
He's using Lightroom Classic and has about 1.5 TB in his Lightroom library on his PC, and has purchased a (used) 13" MacBook Pro (early 2016) with a 1TB internal hard drive. He's asking me some questions I don't have answers to, as my library is much smaller than his, and everything fits fine on the internal drive on my MacBook Pro.
In his situation, though, he has some questions:

In his situation, though, he has some questions:
- Should he try to keep all his photos together on an external hard drive?
- Should he cull his photos and archive those he no longer accesses to an external drive, and keep the balance on his MacBook Pro's internal drive?
- If he puts all his photos onto an external drive, will he have to deal with a lot of spinning beachballs waiting for photos to load?
- If option (2) above is the best way to go, how would he configure Lightroom to deal with it?
