I'm currently in the process of moving my entire photos library of like 100k photos and video from my MacBook and iPad to an external drive. It's way overdue and not backed up 😨 so I have dual use identical drives that will be a clone of one another storing my photos app

My question is, this process is long and cumbersome since it just won't do it in large sweeps I have to manually import about 1k photos at a time.

Can I make it so that the drives are essentially cloning each other in real time. As I add photos to one it also will be updating it on the second Drive as well?
