SD Card Deals

These Lexar SD cards are perfect for professional-style DSLR or mirrorless cameras that can handle full-size SD cards. They can handle up to 250 megabytes per second, making them more than fast enough to handle even 4K video recording, if your camera can. You can even save an extra dollar if you buy two at a time. These frequently drop from $ 50 to $ 36, but this is a very low price.

If your smartphone, tablet, or Nintendo Switch doesn’t have enough storage space for all of your stuff, a roomy 1 terabyte MicroSD card might be the last one you need to buy for a while. This card has only been as inexpensive once before, and for a full terabyte of space it’s worth it for the peace of mind you’ll never need to remove Breath of the wild again.

It never hurts to have a spare Micro SD card or three. These PNY cards aren’t the fastest on the market, although at 100 megabytes per second they are still very fast for almost anything you can throw at them, but a 64GB three-card pack for $ 20 doesn’t is not to be despised.

Offers on SSD and USB drives

The Crucial X6 is our favorite portable SSD for good reason: it’s light, blazingly fast, and one of the most affordable drives even on a normal day. Today, it’s even cheaper at $ 142. If you’re in the market, there’s never been a better time to get our favorite External SDD.

USB drives can be so disposable that companies give them away for free, but getting one with enough space can be overwhelming. That’s where this 1 terabyte PNY drive comes in. With more space than you’ll need for a long time, and a place to put it on your keychain, this could be the first USB drive you worry about losing. It’s gone from $ 200 to $ 155 in recent months, but it’s the lowest price we’ve seen.

Whether you buy USB drives for the entire office or lose your own, buying new drives can get expensive. Fortunately, this PNY pack will sell you 10 at a time for $ 28, which is just under $ 3 a piece. 32 gigabytes each is enough to give everyone on the team the space they need to share documents and presentations without breaking the bank.

Other storage offers

Few upgrades can speed up your computer as much as upgrading to an SSD. If your motherboard supports PCIe NVMe Gen 3 drives, this 2 terabyte drive from Crucial can give you a ton of extra storage space while increasing load times for your favorite apps and games.

Your NAS storage is where the real expense lies, but this Toshiba drive makes it an easier pill to swallow. A single 14 terabyte drive will only use one of your limited bays in a NAS, while still giving you tons of storage for (hopefully) years to come.

When it comes to important tasks that require a lot of storage, such as editing videos, there isn’t too much storage. Fortunately, there are portable containers like this WD hard drive with a whopping 16 terabytes of space. More than enough to store all the projects and raw files you need to take with you for all your work.
