It’s World Backup Day, which to the makers of storage devices means driving home the urgency of protecting the files you hold dear. So obviously, there are deals on all sorts of storage today, including SSDs and microSD cards. B&H Photo is making a big thing out of its deals, and with this being the final day of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, there are many discounts happening there, too.
The one that popped out to me immediately as being exemplary is a 26 percent discount on the 1TB WD Black C50 expansion card that can fit in an Xbox Series X or Series S console. It typically hovers around $150, which is criminal for 1TB of storage, but you can snag it now at Amazon and Best Buy for a much more reasonable $109.99. It’s never a bad idea to snag one of these. You don’t need me to remind you that game install sizes are getting huge, and with Grand Theft Auto VI set to come out sometime this year, you’ll likely want the extra space.
Given that Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is about to conclude, we want to highlight one of the most attractive deals on an equally appealing device. Anker’s 25,000mAh Laptop Power Bank, which has two handy, retractable USB-C cables (with 100W charging speeds, to boot), is 20 percent off at Amazon, costing $87.99 (from $109.99). It might not sound like much of a deal, but this is the most sizable discount we’ve spotted yet on this charger.
In addition to being able to charge multiple devices without the need to buy extra cables, it’s worth pointing out that this battery supports passthrough charging, letting it quickly charge a device while being charged itself. Its USB-C ports support up to 165W of power when just two devices are plugged in, or 130W when three or four are tapping into its juice.
