Saturday: Sandisk (SD, microSD) and WD (internal, external, RAID Desktop HDD) sale

The recurring storage sale is back …recurring at the Amazon USA Gold Box, and it is indeed yet another variant of the Sandisk and WD sale, which are of course now under the same lawyerly roof. Sale ends on 11/14/20 at 11:59pm pacific time or earlier for any individual item that may sell out earlier… Limit three of each individual item per customer…

This includes among others:

+ 512GB Sandisk Extreme PRO (up to 170MB/sec, V30, UHS-I, U3, C10, they are like a NASCAR car with all these labels on them) for $120
+ 1TB version of above for $270
+ without a calculator, it is obvious the 512GB win the GB/$

+ 400GB Sandisk Extreme microSDXC (A2, U3, V30, UHS-I) for $60
+ 1TB version of above for $183
+ again, no need of a calculator, 400GB wins GB/$

+ 400GB Sandisk Ultra microSDXC (A1, U1, V30, UHS-I) for $40
+ 512GB version for $64
+ once again, 400GB wins GB/$, no need for calculator, you have a 30% increase in storage for a 50%+ increase in price!

+ a dozen WD items are also participating in the sale, too many to list here individually but the product categories included are:
+ MyBook Duo Desktop RAID HDDs
+ internal WD Red PRO 3.5″ NAS HDDs
+ internal SSDs
+ SSD Portable HDDs
+ and the all encompassing “etc”
+ find them all at the Sandisk and WD sale of the Amazon USA Gold Box

Among the other Saturday deals du jour they have a soccer team (11 items) of TackLife jump starters and assorted car-related gear, a $299 Sonos speaker with Alexis Carrington (okay, Alexa), various Contigo insulated and non tumblers (some of them keep it so hot you can’t even drink it hours later!), learning toys (including a cash register to teach youngsters a likely-needed career skill?), and for teens of all ages, Beats Solo 3 headphones for $120 [of particular interest to newer iPhone/iPad users because of the extra benefits of the Apple W1 chip]…

UPDATE #1: I forgot to mention this in the post-mess above, but also part of the sales is a battery-powered SONOS Move SmartSpeaker going for $299 (limit two per color)…

UPDATE #2: among the Best Buy daily deals there’s the 12″ Sunpak Bi-Color Vlog kit with a Boya microphone going for $70…

UPDATE #3: and a FREEBIE! If you are participating in the Lucky’s rewards program [regional supermarket chain], good until Sunday night they are offering for FREE a 10-pack of Lavazza K-cups. You have a choice from two flavors. This is truly a freebie, I’ve done these freebies many times before 🙂
