The options without ads are $20 more [or you can remove the ads later after you use it if you find them annoying while in use – I personally don’t find the ereader ads annoying because they don’t play audio or video or animations, so they can’t irritate you the way internet ads can; plus I found a few good deals through them as well)…

Tuesday Ride the P(o)NY: SD, microSD, Flash Drives, RAM, Etc

It’s time to … Ride the P(o)NY at the Amazon Gold Box with a sale of PNY storage options with PNY Elite PRO microSDXC cards going from 128GB to 512GB, lower tier microSDs at 16GB, a 3-pack of 16GB Class 4 (SAD!) of either SDHC or microSD going for $9, a $17 120GB internal SSD, 3-packs and 10-packs of USB 2.0 [SAD!] flash drives for $10 and $30 respectively, RAM sticks, and a tiny 512GB USB 3.1 flash drive for $80.

Other storage action:

64GB PNY Duo-Link USB 3.0 and Lightning Flash Drive for $40 w/free S&H

Everyone making Lightning/iOS MFI-blessed accessories has to pay the “Apple tax” for doing so, which is of course passed along to the consumers, so it is nice to find Lightning-compatible items on sale. To cut a long story short…

… the 64GB PNY Duo-Link USB 3.0 Flash Drive for Apple iPhone & iPad, model P-FDI64GOTGAMG3-GE, is on sale for $40 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself. Limit one per customer. This is not a lightning deal (no pun intended).

One side is a Lightning connector, the other side is a full size USB connector (Type A, aka Taipei).

64GB PNY Elite Performance C10 UHS-I U3 SDXC for $27

The 64GB PNY Elite Performance C10 UHS-I U3 SDXC, model P-SDX64U395-GE (with the (up to) “95MB/sec” written on the card), is on sale for $27 each at Quill.com. Free shipping with an order of $45 or more (eg two of these cards).

The price for PoNY rides increased three fold as of a 12/12/16 recheck. In other words, this deal is dead as a doornail…

[Read more…]

(ENDED) 256GB PNY Elite Performance SDXC for $80 (limit 1)

This offer expired… It turns out the PNY card that was teased last night in the Amazon Gold Box is actually a day-long deal, running until Friday 3am ET (or earlier if sold out), for $80 with free shipping, with a limit of one per customer, this post is written in reverse, the 256GB PNY Elite SDXC Class 10 UHS-I, U1 Up to 90MB/sec Flash Card (model P-SDX256U1H-GE; price before sale $124.50).

64GB PNY Dual Connector USB Flash Drive for $15; 128GB for $30

If you like to transfer/backup files between phones/tablets and computers and other full-size USB devices, the 64GB PNY DUO-LINK USB 3.0 OTG Flash Drive is on sale for $15 with a limit of up to ten per customer at Amazon by Amazon itself. On the same listing you will also find the 128GB version for $30, with the same limit of up to ten per customer.

This has two connectors, a full-size USB 3.0, along with a micro-USB on the other end. It supports USB OTG, so as long as your phone/tablet supports this in both hardware and software/firmware, you should be able to connect to it from either device. As far as I know, you can’t use as a “land bridge”, eg use both connections at the same time (although I haven’t tried it with this particular model).

The usual free shipping terms apply, Prime or $25+/$49+.

Meanwhile according to the lightning deals schedule, the Lightning connector version of this is scheduled to go live on Tuesday at 3am ET. It is not currently on sale.

Speaking of USB flash drives, the USB 2.0 16GB Sandisk Cruzer Blade CZ50 goes for $5.50 but it is an Add-On item, so you need a $25+ order in order to buy it. Storage has dropped enough in price now that the material and product overhead becomes a bigger cost factor. In other words, you can get better bang for the buck with higher storage options.
