You don’t need large system drive, just any drive connected (like USB) or even on the network.

Hold Alt (Option) when starting the Photo app to invoke a dialog where you can select custom photo library location.

You can have multiple photo libraries in different locations and switch between them during Photo app start.

Awesome! I'm a huge fan of Photos for organizing photos from my external camera but don't always want to mix them up with my iCloud Photos library. I'm gonna give this a try. I wish Apple would allow iCloud Photos to handle multiple libraries like this.
