Wow,,, Sorry, but that's tech. That's quite an application of disposable income, and something I can't wrap my head around. I have many thousands wrapped up in SSDs too, but far fewer dead bodies lying around....

Quick math puts your endeavor at $8-9k, or more. but if it's a work expense then it's funny money... If not, then time to get some impulse control...
Unless needed right now, I think it's wise to hold out for Prime Day or even Black Friday at this point. These are becoming pretty regularly discounted.
I stopped buying, or caring, about Adobe software, because, well, you really can't buy it.

Adobe wanted to turn people into renters because they knew they really didn't have enough new and compelling stuff to offer for new release. They also wanted to normalize their income stream regardless of what they did. Now they bilk, ooops, i meant "milk" people constantly (i.e., forever). Unfortunately it worked and lot of people signed up and those people will pay far more than they would have previously, and now have a parasite attached.

I can still go back and use old software and suites without paying adobe, and not worry about making a payment or losing access to my files.

PS- this is Microsoft's plan too. You will rent their garbage...... (Win 11 is dog feces).

pretty soon they will be paying us to take them...
What sucks is over the pandemic I got carried away buying 980 Pros. I currently have over 40 2-TB 980 Pros (not counting the 850xs) I was using them for all-flash VMFS volumes on my VMWare home lab clusters. Then came the early wear firmware issue. I literally had to pull all the drives one by one and flash them in another system. Because I had the drives in Highpoint RAID cards, which won't let you update the firmware. Now these are less than half what I paid for them.

"ADOBE MEMBERSHIP: Get a two-month membership of Adobe Creative Cloud Photography plan on us when you purchase and register an eligible 1TB or 2TB Samsung SSD"

I did this, registering multiple Samsung SSD's a couple months ago while this promo was still live. Verified they were eligible, never got my Adobe Cloud subscription code. No response from Samsung either. Not a huge deal, but if you're counting on that extra $20 benefit, it might not happen.

WIth that said -- how well do these work as externals? What types of speeds are possible over USB-C? And is there a recommended external case for them?? This price is crazy and half of what I paid for mine (2 of them!) a couple months ago

I used to be in this same exact boat.

I paid something like $600 for CS6, I've bought every single version/upgrade of Lightroom until they stopped making it.. and both still work! I stuck with them for the longest time.

But then I realized.. $10/month, for photoshop and lightroom, with all the upgrades?? That's hard to pass on. Especially at $79/year when on sale.

The new AI stuff? the faster speed? there are a lot of features I "didn't need!" and never upgraded for.. but after signing up again recently? I'm really liking it.

Almost everyone is doing the subscription model now, including the plugins for these things. The photoshop plugins from 3rd parties are actually more expensive than Photoshop itself.

I hated what Adobe was doing.. but I can't hate it anymore. That $600 I spent on CS6 in 2012.. plus the 5-6 upgrades of Lightroom (easily another $600) would've cost me $869 (at $79/year) through creative cloud, and I'd have gotten upgrades all along the way.

My CS6 still works.. But it's hard to go back to after using the newest versions.
