4TB Seagate Backup Plus External HDD and 200GB Cloud Storage for $110

On the storage front, the 4TB Seagate Backup Plus External USB 3.0 hard disk drive is on sale for $110 with free shipping, in new condition, at Amazon by Amazon itself. Four different colors are available at this price, with a limit five per color per customer. If you like to color code your storage (eg tiers of backups, or importance of data, or color-code quarters or years), the four different colors give you that option. You also get 200GB of cloud storage.

PS: if you buy multiple of the above, I don’t know if there’s a limit of how many 200GB “clouds” you can add to your cloud storage account. Often times, in situations like this, they have limits of one promotional bonus per account, but I have no way of testing this.

Speaking of storage, if you don’t need quick access, the 64GB PNY Attache USB 2.0 Flash Drive (model P-FD64GATT03-GE) goes for $10 (limit ten per customer), while the 128GB version of that goes for $18 (also limit ten per customer).

Speaking of storage, if you want to use memory cards as extra storage for your laptops, this brand new 128GB PNY Ultra Thin Notebook Memory Storage, model P-ULTRA128U1-233W-HT, goes for $35 with a limit of ten per customer.

PS: with “USB-C” becoming more prevalent, you may see more listings mentioning products as “USB Type A” which is the standard USB size found in desktops/laptops. Everything you want to know on the USB format at Wikipedia. As with everything done by committee, there are goofy things, like USB 3.0 is also known as USB 3.1 First Generation 🙂

USB Flash Drive Roundup: 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive for $20, Tiny Ones for more

Tiny USB flash drives are all the more useful these days with USB OTG and smaller slimmer laptops, which brings us to Lexar’s answer to this genre, their 128GB Lexar JumpDrive S45 USB 3.0 Flash Drive, model LJDS45-128ABNL, going for $27 at Amazon by Amazon itself.

Transcend is in the game too, their 64GB Transcend Jetflash 710 USB 3.0, model TS64GJF710S, going for $24 at Amazon by Amazon itself in silver and slightly more in gold. The 32GB goes for $12.50, and the 16GB goes for $8. The gold color schemes cost slightly more.

If you don’t need the smaller form factor and instead prefer more conventional flash drives, the 128GB PNY Turbo USB 3.0 Flash Drive (P-FD128TBOP-GE) goes for $20 at the Staples website with a limit of ten per customer. Free store pickup or free shipping if you are a Staples Rewards member (free to join).

On the other hand, if you prefer a Flash Drive that solves the Indecision 2016 problem, the 128GB SanDisk Ultra Dual USB Drive 3.0 (model SDDD2-128G-G46) goes for $30. One side is USB 3.0 full size, the other side is micro-USB, so you can access the storage from either side (but not both at the same time, it’s not a “data bridge”).

256GB PNY Turbo Elite USB 3.0 Flash Drive for $55

32GB Transcend Class 10 SDHC 200x for $8 (limit 30)

Once upon a time a 32MB Smartmedia card was a top of the line storage option. Now you can get 1000 times as much storage on a single card and pay about the price of a visit to the all you can eat salad buffet. Which brings us to the 32GB Transcend Class 10 SDHC UHS-I Flash Memory Card, model TS32GSDHC10E, 200x, up to 30MB/sec, on sale for $8 per card, with a limit of 30 per customer at Amazon by Amazon itself. It comes in frustration-free packaging so you don’t have to fight/deal-with the usual retail packaging annoyances.

Keep in mind this is slower compared to newer cards, so keep that in mind depending on how you plan to use it.

Speaking of storage, the 32GB PNY USB 3.0 Flash Drive, model P-FD32GTBOP-GE, is on sale for $9 with a limit of 30 per customer.

The “New Usual” free shipping terms apply to this, like most Amazon purchases, free 2-day for Prime members, or with a $49+ order for non-members (or if the order includes $25+ in physical books). These for items shipped by Amazon or fulfilled by Amazon.

64GB Samsung EVO element-proof microSDXC w/adapter for $18 (limit 3)

If you have some of the newer smaller cameras that take microSD cards or use other non-camera cameras (smartphones, action cams, etc), and like the idea of element-proofness in memory cards (Water proof, Temperature Proof, X-Ray proof, Magnetic proof), the 64GB Samsung EVO Class 10 Micro SDXC Card with full size SD Adapter (up to 48/MB/s, model MB-MP64DA/AM) is on sale again for $18~ with a limit of three per customer at Amazon by Amazon itself. A marketplace seller (fulfilled by Amazon) has it for $0.55 less for the more adventurous shoppers. This currently “defeats” all the other options in its own line-up (16GB to 128GB). Note that the prices of this change very often, probably a combination of market-driven price-changes, price-matches, and things like that.

Free shipping if you are a Prime member, or with a order of $49+. Or if your order contains $25+ in books. More details on Amazon’s new free super saver shipping terms.

UPDATE: while we are talking microSDXC cards, the 128GB PNY microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1, model P-SDUX128U160G-GE, is on sale for $35 at B&H Photo (no limits) and Amazon itself (limit 3).

128GB PNY Elite Perf. SDXC for $40 [updated]

The 128GB version has dropped to $40 (was $38), sold and shipped by Amazon itself with a limit of four per customer. It is in the all-encompassing “Temporarily out of stock” status, so keep that in mind if you need it by a specific date… As you can see, both at the SD and microSD levels, we are seeing a wave of price slides of higher capacity cards (as it is often the case – other things equal)…

UPDATE: the 256GB sale for $75 is over as of 12/6/15 re-check… Last week, the 256GB PNY Elite Performance SDXC was “defeating” the other storage options in its own line-up (32GB to 512GB; UHS-I, U3 up to 95 MB/Sec), going for $75 each. Now there is pushback,
