Migrating to Immich choosing file location

Hey! I want to switch to Immich from NC Memories. I have a few hundred GB of Photos and Videos and I am not entirely sure how to migrate properly. Ideally I would like to just plop in the path to the memories folder into the .env file and call it a day. But I am not sure if that will work. Will Immich pick up that there are images there and add metadata and all that to the DB? I know alternatively that I can add the old storage as external storage and just setup a new directory for immich, but then I would have to rescan everytime I change smth in the old db (I know that rescans are supposed to be fast) and it would fragment my storage which I am not too fond of. I would also ideally like to keep using memories if immich turns out to be missing features, so I would love if I didn't have to remigrate later on.
What are my options? I have read through the external library docs (both of them)
