In case you hadn't heard, there is a big sale going on right now. Don't worry, we won't hold it against you if this is somehow the first time you're hearing about it... in late November. But you know the deal, if there's even a hint of something going on sale, Amazon will have a few pages of deals on memory cards, SSDs, and hard drives.
