Fair enough - in that case, tbh, I wouldn't bother splitting it unless
you have a good reason. I suggested that because of the lower cost of a
1TB disk (true, they're not what they were but it's still extra cost).
I'd just start again with a new photo library if you want to stick with
the disks you have (perfectly understandable). When I tried a smaller
scale version of this it became extremely difficult to keep track
because anomalies appeared (eg duplicates). If I did it again, having a
clear cut off (eg 1 June 2020) would have been very useful.
cheers everyone (hope you're all keeping well)

SSD is probably worth a look at but added cost outlay I begrudge when
I have so much capacity free in mechanical drives. Once the library
has finished loading I will look to split into 2 and then start a
fresh library for the new decade.
The library is well backed up. It is sitting on an external drive in
raid 5 configuration and all my data is backed up to the cloud using
the service Backblaze. Not intended as a commercial advertisement but
I have found them an amazing product and good value for unlimited data
backup. I currently have over 30TB backed up with them.
Cheers,
Jason
