looking for recommendations on a system for lightweight editing and storage lightroom is overkill for me, capture one with a nas also kind of overkill. i want a fast and robust setup for: capturing, editing, storing, publishing my work 🙏

How much are you willing to pay for storage / how much storage do you need / how much are you shooting regularly? how much time do you want to spend (max) editing/organizing what is your connection speed? Do you have an existing cloud backup of photos?

shoot 1-2x/month. prefer one-time costs to monthly SaaS (though am flexible). unsure how much storage i need don’t want to spend more than 1-2hrs/month on editing/organizing connection is a starlink, it fluctuates but is pretty fast most of the time no cloud backup currently

Lightroom Cloud seems like the best bet if you already use Adobe. Set up your organizational principles ahead of time to save time. Storage: I would use an external SSD and back that up using AWS, Wasabi or something similar. This is a good combo of local access and speed + redundancy just in case your drive fails

You should start with a 2 TB SSD. The issue with SSDs is they can degrade much more quickly than HDDs can, so you may need to replace them more frequently, but the speed is worth it. So I’d get one per year or so, and archive them to a larger NAS or large drive when you’re done with it.
