Amazon’s Deal of the Day takes up to 40% off SanDisk microSD cards, flash drives and more

Amazon deals time! Today’s gold box deal puts another dent into the price tag of premium storage. This time it’s from the SanDisk camp, and they’re taking up to 40% off a smorgasbord of storage options.

In the realm of microSD, their 32GB and 64GB Ultra Class 10 cards are down to .99 and .99, respectively. The “Extreme Pro” versions of these classes with UHS-I / U3 classification are a bit more at .99 for 32GB and .99 for 64GB. The difference between the two sets of cards is in speed: the Class 10 Ultra cards read at speeds of up to 48MB/s, while the Extreme Pro cards’ read/write speed hover around the 90MB/s range (which is good for devices that can record video at up to 4K resolution).

Those looking for more full-sized options can get in on these other great deals:

• 32GB Class 10 SD Card for .99


• 64GB Class 10 SD Card for .99


• 128GB Class 10 SD Card for .99


• 16GB Compact Flash Card for .95


• 32GB Compact Flash Card for .99


• 64GB Cruzer USB Flash Drive for .99


• 128GB Cruzer USB Flash Drive for .99


• 128GB Extreme Pro USB 3.0 Flash Drive for .99

Sorry folks, no 200GB or 128GB microSD cards on sale just yet, but considering how new they are we wouldn’t hold out for sales on either of them until at least another year passes by. Head to Amazon to check these out if something catches your eye on the list above.

Amazon’s 1-hour delivery service is now in Baltimore and Miami

Amazon has finally started expanding their one-hour delivery service to more areas. Residents in Baltimore and Miami will now be able to order goods online and get it shipped to whichever location they’re at within the hour.

How does it work? Simple: as an Amazon Prime member, download the Amazon Prime Now app and add some goods that you can’t make it to the store for in your cart. Pay .99 if you want it within the hour, or give Amazon a 2-hour window if you don’t want to pay anything.

The service is open from 8am to 10pm 7 days a week, though only “select zip codes” will be able to take advantage. To check if your area is supported simply download the app and put in your zip code. If you aren’t covered then Amazon allows you to sign up and will notify you once they finally add your zip code to their service area. Keep all this in mind the next time you can’t be arsed to go to the store for a quick pickup.

Amazon’s Dash Button lets you refill home goods at the simple press of a button [VIDEO]

Our immediate reaction to Amazon’s latest announcement was that it has to be an April Fools joke, but perhaps that’s a testament to just how cool and future-thinking this product actually is. This is the Amazon Dash Button, a tiny little button that you can press to instantly order replenishment for any perishable product you need from Amazon.

Whether that product is a huge case of diapers, enough gatorade to supply a full basketball team or some macaroni and cheese, you only need to press the button once and Amazon will automatically place an order for shipment to your doorstep. You’ll get a notification on your phone to confirm the details of your order, and Amazon’s app will make it easy enough to make changes to your button’s behavior whenever you need, such as setting up different quantities or flavors.

The buttons can be ordered from Amazon, and the best part is it’s free for any Prime user. You might also find some products that come with Amazon Dash Buttons pre-installed, such as a washing machine with a Tide button or a water cooler that’ll get you jugs of nature’s primary element whenever you need it.

In fact, there’s already one such product that exists. It’s Poppy’s smart coffee machine that’ll make you coffee whenever you need it, whether you set an automatic timer to have it make a batch in the morning, or you tell it to make a cup via the smartphone app for when you get home. Poppy’s machine integrates Amazon’s dash replenishment service to automatically detect when you’re running low on coffee and place an order for more to ensure you get a shipment before you run out.

You’ll see the same sort of functionality in Brita’s smart filters and Brother’s printers. Sounds like cool stuff. Unfortunately we’re not yet sure of some of the details of Dash Button, such as whether you’ll be able to order a generic one to program for getting items such as those that can be bought through Amazon Subscribe & Save.

Amazon users who are interested can actually sign up to be let in on the early round of testing set to go down within the next few weeks. In the meantime be sure to check out the early crop of products you’ll be able to order Dash buttons for right here once Amazon’s fully launched this thing, and keep your fingers crossed that this isn’t the most elaborate April Fools day joke in existence!
