Amazon is letting loose with its stock of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 phones, its Galaxy Watch4 and Watch4 Classics, and cases upon cases of Galaxy Buds Pro — all as part of a spectacular Deal of the Day where you can save up to 25% off. And believe it or not, you probably might be able to get this haul delivered before Christmas.

There was a time when internal storage was increasing at a fairly steady rate, but that trend seems to have halted. However, we're still seeing sizes going up for games, apps, movies, and just about everything else. If you're looking to loosen up the storage bottleneck on an old phone, or maybe have a decent place to dump photos or videos, you can pick up a Lexar microSD card for a really accessible price.

If Prime Day shopping has led you to picking up some fun new gear, there's a decent chance you're also looking for some accessories to make the best of it. One of the most common add-ons you'll need for that new drone or camera is some extra storage. It will come as no surprise that Amazon has you covered there, too — microSD cards, SD cards, thumb drives, SSDs, hard drives, and even NAS systems in any capacity for any particular situation.

It hasn't been long since the last big Amazon sale on storage, but the online gigaretailer is back at it with another huge crop of deals on SD cards, flash drives, and more. 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.

They come in a variety of storage size capacities, but only the 200GB, 400GB, and 512GB variants are being discounted. Each microSD card includes a full-size adaptor to be used in a standard SD card reader.

MicroSD cards are still a popular storage medium — all the manufacturers include full SD-size adapters anyways, so they make for easy gifts to anyone who has a camera that's not a phone. In any case, we may have passed the commodity event horizon where these cards cost so little on their own, but would be better bought in bulk on sale. Luckily enough, Best Buy has the best price on SanDisk Ultra Plus 128GB cards today only.

Another day on the Amazon Deals of the Day carousel and this go-around, we're hitting up the storage device manufacturer PNY. If you want a 512GB SD card for well under $100, a 256GB microSD for under $40, or the best price on a 256GB USB-C drive, all of them are on sale until midnight PDT.The PNY Elite 256GB USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C flash drive has a necessarily long name thanks to the USB Promoters Group, but what it is able to do for your computer or phone is to read files at up to 130MB per second.

A year ago, this card would've still commanded more than $60. Nowadays, it's settled around $35 on Amazon. For today only, though, it's at .

Having more storage is never a bad thing, but that doesn't mean you should buy it on a whim. It's smarter to wait for a big sale, like we have today on Amazon Goldbox.
