Prime Dayz Storage options

And now lettuce take a look at some of the storage-related sales during Prime Dayz of 2013!

The WD – Sandisk grouping includes Sandisk Extreme and Lexar SD and microSD memory cards, USB flash drives, Lexar card readers, WD and Synology NAS options, internal HDDs from WD Red and such, external HDDs from WD, LaCie and such, external SSDs from Crucial, Seagate, Sandisk and such, and internal SSDs from WD and friends.

The Samsung storage sale includes similar as above products but of the Samsung branding. Including a 256GB PRO Plus SDXC (V30, UHS I, U3, 180, 130) bundled with a Samsung USB 3.0 card reader. You can never have too many of those 🙂

AND if you want to build a computer, they have a Components sale headlined by Ryzen (Or Die Tryin’).

Because photographers spend a lot of time in the studio or in nature or in the mean streets of cities big and small, a cold or hot beverage is quintessential, which is why there is this YETI drinkware sale featuring all kinds of things, starting at $12.50 for can-style cups.

Because photographers have to eat too, Amazon is having a GrubHub promotion. In addition to getting a FREE 1-year GrubHub+ subscription as a Prime member, they have a one-time-use coupon code GRUBPRIME that gets you $15 off a purchase of $25+ at/via GrubHub.

Top Trending Deals of Prime Dayz 2023

I can’t chase all the Prime Day deals. That’s what Amazon’s AI bots and infinite servers and bloated software are for 😉

These are the Top 350+ Trending Electronics according to their computers. The #1 is the Fire Stick 4K for $23, followed by the Galaxy Watch 5 40mm for $160.

There’s plenty of AirPods – actual Apple Airpods, not 3rd-party clones! High in the charts is the Kindle Paperwhite (8GB, 6.8″, Lockscreen Ads) for $90. As y’all know, I’m a champion of e-ink e-book e-reading 🙂

There’s the 9th generation iPad for $250, a $90 10-inch Fire HD tablet (2021 model), Razer charging stands for gaming consoles, and such.

If you prefer a more standard way of browsing the top sellers, here is a conventional page-by-page list of the Trending Electronics.

Because there’s so much noise in the “Cameras” Amazon category (security cameras, crappy P&S, etc, etc), we have to dig into the Mirrorless sub-category and the DSLRs category and the Instant category to find actual name-brand cameras 🙂

If you are fond of Amazon’s own brands, this is the Top 120+ of Amazon branded products. Yes, we have reached peak Amazon, #5 in the chart is a 30-pack of 2-ply toilet paper for $23, followed for a 12-pack of paper towels for the same price 😉

Interested in other product categories? Check the Best Sellers and Movers and Shakers in the central Best Sellers page…

And because I can’t be a proper troll without doing this, these are the top trending products of super-star influencer Paris Hilton 🙂
