Amazon [amazon.com] has
Samsung 980 Pro 2TB SSD PCIe NVMe Gen 4 Gaming M.2 Internal Solid State Drive for
$116.99 when you clip the coupon on the page. Shipping is free.
OP NOTE: See comments but it seems buyers are having difficulty (if not an impossible time) actually receiving a code for the free Adobe 2-Month Subscription so don't count on it. Removed it from the title of the post but will keep it in the body of the deal.

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...
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).

Capture One had a 50%off promotion a month ago, so I bought the "permanent version". Runs really well. While I may not have the latest and greatest at all times, this should keep me going for a few years. Just have to update Topaz and On1 plugins from time to time. Capture One seems to render the colors more accurately.
I used to use Capture 1 too. When I bought my first Sony (I was primarily a Canon shooter at the time) they had a deal to get it for next to nothing. I bought it, and then went through at least 4 upgrades but I backed off because I was traveling so much and what I was doing at the time my old PS did what I wanted it to do.
That said, C1 was a pretty good base for images, and I understand moving to it and cutting ties with Adobe (I like Adobe's software, just don't like the company too much anymore).
BTW - I always hated Adobe's "you have to pay for a new version if you buy a new camera" routine. Talk about pirates.... I guess that's gone now, but they still get you.....
Where did you see that?

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
Via USB? Not rly worth it.
Get a cheaper SATA or PCIE3 drive if you are putting it in an external, I'd say. Even thunderbolt I think. (I think PCEI3 drives are more than enough to saturate even Thunderbolt, iirc)
