If it's in the app yes, but what OP failed to mention is you need to spend $60 and the discount is only up to $30 off

1m Thunderbolt 5 cable + 240W USB-C cable, both Apple. Comes out to $77.75 all-in.
Versus driving to store and buying there (with no discounts):
-$70 TB5 cable
-$25 240W USB-C cable
~$6.65
----------
$101.65
9.8 miles away. So ~20mi round trip. Say I get 18mpg average. $3.60/gallon for Premium (SE NC). So that's $4.
$105.65 for items + gasoline. Ignoring tires, time, depreciation.
Drive there myself: $101.65
DoorDash: $77.75
Hard to argue against it... Even if I went to BB as part of another trip (to Target, BJ's, etc) --> no discounts.
If you take a look at decent reviews, it looks like the SN7100 is a particularly good drive in terms of idle power consumption and power efficiency. Super low (the LOWEST?) power consumption in its category. Reading reviews is what convinced me to get the SN7100. For my purposes (always connected external storage), power consumption was more important than all-out performance.

I bought a 2TB SN7100 a few weeks ago to put in an OWC 1M2 TB4 enclosure. I'll be plugging it in to an M4 Pro Mac mini when it arrives. Going to dump my iCloud Photos library on there. I went with 1TB on the Mac mini. No need to pay Apple's extortionate prices on storage, LOL. Especially when the thing has TB5 ports and you can add 2TB for ~$230 (drive+enclosure).
Even though there might be better performing drives in the category, I'd rather stick with WD over something from "TeamGroup", Corsair, and even SK Hynix. Nothing against those brands (especially SK Hynix). More a case of "I just want it to work", and WD seems to me like the "safest" choice in that respect.
