Although cloud storage services and wireless local data transfers have reduced some of the reliance on flash drives, they are still going strong. This is because USB flash drives (aka thumb drives, memory sticks, or pen drives) provide one of the most painless ways of transferring or backing up data.

This may not be 2010 anymore when flash drives were a necessity for school — or work, for many of us — but they're still a useful tool for local backups and getting data on or off your gear before you wipe it and put it out to pasture. Especially now in the age of extra-handy USB-C flash drives which can connect to phones as well as laptops, the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe is a handy tool to have on hand.

It doesn't seem all that long ago that storage capacities measured in terabytes seemed like science fiction, but the cost of those TBs has fallen fast. Case in point: this little USB-C flash drive from SanDisk packs a whole terabyte, and it's $118 on Amazon right now — more than half off MSRP and down about $15 from recent street prices.The little fella is rated for transfer speeds of up to 150 megabytes per second and has both a USB-C connector and a USB-A one, one at each end. There's also a convenient loop on it, so you could keep it on a keychain.

Even if your phone doesn't have room for expandable storage anymore, SD cards can still come in handy. Whether you're looking to offload your photo and video collection or you're backing up essential documents on your laptop, it can't hurt to have a few memory cards lying around the house.

Today only, you can catch up to 25 percent off all kinds of digital storage accessories — including a meaty discount on a one-terabyte MicroSD card.

We live in interesting times. As the USB Type-C standard slowly spreads, we're left with three different USB ports in operation. There's USB-C, USB-A, and microUSB, but no longer will you need different flash drives for all those devices. A company called Silicon Power has announced a flash drive that has all three connectors, and it doesn't look as awkward as you'd expect.

I'm a fan of microSD card slots. I know, I know, there's absolutely no reason to have this debate right now. You either prefer to have expandable memory or you don't particularly care.If you're on #TeamGiveMeMoreCheapStoragePlease, then now may be a good time to head over to Amazon. Flash memory of all kinds is on sale there for up to 70% off. The 128GB microSD is going for a mere .99. The full-sized alternative is just .99. A massive 256GB SD card costs a bit more, at $64.99, but that may be enough storage to stick in your PC and effectively double the size of your SSD. Alternatively, you can grab a 128GB flash drive for .99.Small sizes are available too, and they cost less as you go down. You're welcome to go that route if you're inclined to view carrying around over 100GB of data on a mobile phone as overkill.You can browse the full selection at the link below.Source: Amazon

The age of microUSB is about to come to an end, and SanDisk is on hand to usher in the new reversible era. The company has just announced a 32GB flash drive with two connectors—one full-size USB 3.0 and one USB 3.0 Type-C. There aren't many things you can plug that Type-C connector into yet, but it'll be really neat when there are.

Today Amazon is offering significant discounts on PNY products ranging from portable battery packs to microSD/SD cards, and flash drives. Savings range from 23% to 67% off.Starting with the microSD cards, the best deal is the 64GB one going for .23, 58% off its regular price. If that's more space than you need, there's a 32GB card reduced down to .49 and a 16GB one reduced to .75.
