Deal Of The Day: SanDisk SD Plus USB

sdusb.jpgI can’t say I’ve picked up much amazing or inspiring technology in the last few months. However, when jkOnTheRun mentioned SanDisk has temporarily dropped prices on the convertible SD -> USB card, I needed in!

Of the various computers I use regularly, none have card readers… meaning I either have to drag one with me or make sure I have the correct USB cables present for my devices. This little guy is a clever convenience who works as advertised — I probably should have picked one up earlier. I do have concerns I might snap him at some point, but the guys at work disagree. Time will tell.

Sadly the “deal” was 5/20 – 5/24, when I picked up the 1GB card from Amazon for about $46. Buy.com had it for a low $39, but that involved rebate hassles. If you too feel compelled, the price is still a reasonable $56.

For those of you on the fence regarding Amazon Prime, the $79 two-day shipping plan, let me tell you half my purchases arrive overnight (such as this card).
