Just because you have the money to spare, you shouldn't get it. This is a pretty good deal, but if you won't use the storage, there is no point. Unless you want to spend money. I have this issue, too, and I know how it feels. If you want it... sure, get it. It's your money, we can't stop you.

It's only 500gb, that's not much of a deal.

500GB drive experience now what 128 and 256GB drives did a few years ago, they're too small...

So they get discounted but aren't really a good deal unless you only have old smaller HDD/SSD and not much money

When I see anything that's a good deal, I buy it even though I don't need it... like a 100ft water hose I got at Walmart for $28.99. Should I just buy this because it's a good deal and it is a really cool collab.

But it's not a great deal.

 

It's really not a "cool collab", as if it's something special.  It's a SSD and a case.
