64GB Samsung USB 3.0 Flash Drive Duo for $23
Samsung is back with yet another new product, this time they are dipping into the world of two-input USB 3.0 flash drives. One side is full-size USB, the other side is micro-USB, so you can use the same storage in computers and phones/tablets alike. A quick way to transfer files if you don’t want to setup over-the-air connections between your devices. The phone/tablets must needs support USB OTG (OTG = On The Go, USB Host). This requires both the necessary hardware and the necessary support from the phone’s software/firmware. Check the interwebs if you are not certain whether your phone can support this.
To cut a long story short, this 64GB Samsung USB 3.0 Flash Drive Duo, model MUF-64CB/AM, is on sale for $23 at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit of 20 per customer. The usual free shipping terms apply (free for Prime or with $35+ order). This is so new, it has no customer reviews yet. As with many Samsung flash storage products, it is marked as Water proof, Shock proof, magnet proof, temp proof, and X-ray proof with a 5-year warranty.
PS: I haven’t used this one, so I don’t know if it’s possible to connect both devices at the same time. I previously used one from another company (I can’t find it right now to test this), but I think you have to connect the devices one at a time, but I could be wrong.
128GB Patriot microSDXC element-proof for $45
If you have some of the smaller/newer P&S cameras or action cameras or cameraphones or Android cameras-phones that take microSD cards, the 128GB Patriot MicroSDXC card, with up to 70MB/sec Read and up to 20MB/sec Write is currently on sale for $45 with free shipping, by a 3rd-party seller, with the order fulfilled by Amazon, so it is eligible for Prime shipping, and customer support is handled by Amazon’s CSRs. The card is described as “Magnet Proof, Shock Proof, Temperature Proof, and Waterproof”. It is model PSF128GMCSDHXC10 and a full-size SD adapter is included.
It is part of a complete lineup of 4GB to 128GB cards occupying the same product listing, with over 400 customer reviews. This particular 128GB model has 36 customer reviews, including this gem of a review 🙂
External Hard Drive sales [updated]
Barring material shortages or geopolitical issues, the price of storage will keep on dropping, so one has to triangulate how much to buy now versus how much to buy later. I will leave the triangulations to you (because my geometrics is broken), but here are three more portable hard disk drive promotions in progress at the moment:
+ 4TB WD Elements External Desktop Hard Disk Drive, model WDBWLG0040HBK-NESN, for $109 at B&H Photo
+ expired:
+ 3TB Toshiba Canvio Connect II, black, model HDTC830XK3C1, for $100 at Amazon by Amazon herself, limit five per customer
+ 3TB WD My Passport Ultra USB 3.0 Portable External Hard Drive, 256-bit Hardware Encryption, Classic Black (2015), for $109 at Adorama, temporarily back-ordered but can still place an order to lock the price
For more action, check our previous hard drive deals posts.
UPDATE: more added

2pk 64GB Lexar Pro 1066x CompactFlash for $160
The 2-pack of 64GB Lexar Professional 1066x CompactFlash memory cards is on sale for $160 with free shipping at B&H Photo and Amazon by Amazon herself (limit 20). This is model name LCF64GCRBNA10662, UDMA7.
CORRECTION: the price is $160, not $150.
2TB Western Digital Elements HDD (USB 3.0) for $66
The action continues at the eBay Deals with more storage for your RAW-mega-pixels. With 1TB HDDs having a market price $50 or less “buy it now” price, the 2TB models seem to be settling at a $70 or less market price. As such, Adorama’s eBay store is offering the new condition 2TB WD Elements Portable External Hard Drive (USB 3.0, USB powered) for $66 with free shipping, with a limit of five per customer.
PS: there’s also some grey-market/imported dSLRs from some of the B-list eBay Deals sellers. I’m trying to triangulate what to do with those type of deals. People are buying them per the eBay product listing statistics, but how many of the people who buy them are aware of the warranty trade-offs and risks?
Sandisk Memory Stick Pro Duo Memory Card for $2 w/free S&H
And now something from the “$5 Gadget” department. If you have old (and I really mean old) Sony gear that takes MemoryStick Pro Duo memory cards, A4C (All4Cellular) is offering 2GB Sandisk Memory Stick Pro Duo Memory Cards for $1.95 with free shipping. Free shipping even if you buy just one. You can buy as many as you like. They ship from New York.
PS: A4C is one of a few retailers out there that has free shipping for everything in their store. Faster shipping options (eg Priority mail) costs extra.
5TB Seagate Expansion External USB 3.0 HDD for $136
On the storing those megapixels and RAWpixels front, the 1TB portable hard drives are settling at a $50 price at various places, but if you want more (and a better GB/c grocery-store-style price), the bigger capacities win. Case in point, the 5TB Seagate Expansion External USB 3.0 Hard Drive is on sale for $136 with free shipping, at Amazon by Amazon itself, with a limit of 10 per customer… Thanks to one of our readers for the alert… Alternately, the 4TB model goes for $120 (limit 10 as well)…
32GB Lexar SDHC 200x Class 10 + Polaroid Memory Card Wallet for $10
If you don’t need a blazing fast SDHC card and you could use a memory card wallet, there’s a pretty good bundle going on. The 32GB Lexar 200X Premium Series SDHC UHS-1 Class 10 memory card is bundled with a Polaroid memory card wallet (judging by the pictures it holds three memory cards) for $10. The seller is Ritz Camera with the order fulfilled by Amazon.com, so if you are a Prime member, you get free 2-day shipping even if you buy just one card. Non-Prime members get the usual free super-saver-shipping with a $35+ order. Limit 30 per customer.
This shares the same reviews pool with another bundle, but when you filter it for this only, it looks like it has all 22 of the 22 reviews, which average 4.8 out of 5.

The limit is five per customer, but since they have them on sale in both the frustration free packaging and the standard packaging, you may be able to get five of each for a total of ten (I haven’t tried this).

The limit is five per customer, but since they have them on sale in both the frustration free packaging and the standard packaging, you may be able to get five of each for a total of ten (I haven’t tried this).
Prime membership gets you free 2-day shipping even if you buy only one card (they are not part of the dreaded Add-On program). Non-Prime members get the usual $35+ free super-shaver-shipping.
