16TB WD Elements Desktop external HDD for $240

The megapixels are increasing, the RAW files are yuge, more people experiment with video which also increases in resolution, so the need for external HDD storage is higher!

One such option for these difficult storage times is the new condition 16TB WD Elements Desktop external HDD (USB 3.0 Type A, WDBWLG0160HBK-NESN) on Black Friday sale for $240 at B&H Photo and also by Amazon herself (limit 5).

Speaking of Amazon, among their trending best sellers right now they have two Logitech gaming driving/racing wheel bundles [they are more expensive than my car’s steering wheel?] for $200 each, the G920 bundle and also the G Dual-Motor G29 bundle. Don’t ask me what these mean, I have no clue 🙂

PS: on the other hand, if they have/can/could adapt the steering wheel to be used when navigating the computer or browsing around the internet…

FREE LEARNINGS
And now to something that doesn’t have anything to do with World Backup Day 🙂

If you like to learn new things without paying, Amazon is offering a number of FREE AWS courses. There’s a variety of courses. You “buy” them for $0, similar to how you get free Kindle e-books or free videos or mp3s at the Amazon website.

As of the time of writing these only work on desktops and laptops per the Amazon page (including Chromebooks). The course “runs” on Amazon’s website. I haven’t tried running it on a tablet with the browser in desktop mode to see if it works in such a configuration. Chromebooks are the new tablets, at least in the non-iOS world 🙂

AWS is Amazon Web Services. A good starting point might be their Cloud Essentials course…

+ remember if you are a Prime member, you also have the free Prime Reading feature which usually has over 1000 e-books to read; you don’t even have to buy ebooks

+ Kindle Paperwhite for $90 (limit two per customer); this is with Special Offers, Wifi-only, 8GB on-board storage, 300ppi, built-in front light (it had been the defining feature of the Paperwhite before the Voyage/Oasis)

BUT WAIT, there’s more! Also part of the Tuesday daily deals is a Bushnell sale featuring three groups of Bushnell products, with prices ranging from $22 to $314. Yes, $22 is a Bushnell binocular, not a bag or other accessory 🙂

UPDATE: I haven’t tested every single item, but of the ones I have tested, the limit is two per customer per item at the sale price…

UPDATE #2: there’s also a tech sale at the Amazon Germany Gold Box, lots of great prices on Logitech mice and keyboards since they are typically more expensive in Europe than the US. Note that the most of the keyboards are using the QWERTZ formation, not the “normal” QWERTY. Thankfully the mice don’t have any QWERTZ vs QWERTY confusion 🙂

Friday: 5TB Seagate Backup Plus External HDD for $100 AC

The megapixels won’t automatically fully-backup [at least not with current technology], so secondary and tertiary and quadrangular and cingulangular backups are in need. Which brings us to the headliner of the NewEgg daily deals for Friday [it’s Friday already???] September Lucky-13 in 2019, the new condition 5TB Seagate Backup Plus Portable External Hard Drive (model STHP5000400, USB 3.0 ~ not sure anyone is still selling USB 2.0 anymore?) with a 1-year Mylio Create and a 2-month Adobe CC Photography plan, all together for $100 with free US shipping using coupon code 99RXP8 over there. This is sold and shipped by NuevoHuevo itself, not marketplace sellers.
