that's different.
if you need more than one drive for all of your content, you need to have more than one drive.
splitting it up just for the sake of splitting it up is dumb.
It may be not so dumb to split for the sake of separating concerns. Like, not mixing your family shots with your commercial shots, or not mixing your raw files with your finished works, whatever can be your way.
He recommends using one master file for all images because that one master file can be backed-up on one or more drives.
If you want more than one Catalog in Lightroom, you can still use one master file for all images. Setting up a Hobby catalog and a Family catalog can be accomplished using one master file for all of the images.
Personally, I don't see it as a good thing to have more than one catalog because you can, instead, use folders within the master file to separate your images.
But, Tim is just providing what he considers to be the optimum way of setting up Lightroom. If you have your own reasons for doing it differently, that's up to you. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando FL
