Seagate Compact 1TB Portable SSD Hits an All-Time Low, 260K+ Reviewers Might Envy This Prime Day Price
Tiny portable thumb drives are a great way to move important files, but they usually have one or both of two unfortunate shortcomings — they're either fragile, small in capacity, or both. Not surprisingly, a USB-C thumb drive that conquers both of those issues comes from Seagate — the remarkable Ultra Compact 1TB portable SSD, which is just $80 right now in Amazon Prime Day Deal list. The Seagate Ultra Compact packs a full terabyte of storage into a tiny 2.78-inch body, and it's also IP54 dust and rain resistant, with a removable rubber grip for more secure carrying and for extra protection, and a 3-meter drop resistance. A small but sturdy loop lets you attach it to a key ring or the included lanyard for safe keeping, and it's universally compatible across Windows and Mac laptops and desktops, Android smartphones and tablets, iPhones, iPads, and gaming consoles. See at Amazon The Seagate Ultra Compact makes quick work of your hugest files with blazing data transfer speeds of up to 1,000 MB/s. The Seagate Toolkit software that helps you use the Ultra Compact 1TB portable SSD as a backup drive and syncs files is built into the drive already. There's no cable — the Ultra Compact plugs directly into the USB-C port of your device — and there's no need for any external power source. And while Seagate has made the Ultra Compact 1TB portable SSD amazingly tough and durable, with protection from water and dust and drops, they're also aware that sometimes things just happen — fires, natural disasters, extreme physical mishaps. That's where their Rescue Data Recovery Services have your back. Should disaster strike, you can send the drive back to Seagate and their expert techs will either repair the drive or recover your data and send it back to you on a new drive. Expanding the capacity of your gaming console by a full terabyte is a simple matter of plugging the Ultra Compact 1TB portable SSD into the console's USB-C port. At 1,000 MB/s, the drive moves fast enough to make moving large game files quick and easy, and there's no USB-C cable to worry about getting jostled and breaking your connection. This is a huge-capacity thumb drive we can give two huge thumbs-up to. The Seagate Ultra Compact 1TB portable SSD has the size (or lack thereof), the speed, the durability, and the Seagate brand in its corner, and the price is right too. Head to Amazon prime day deal hub and grab this mighty little drive for just $80. See at Amazon

Our favorite budget wireless earbuds are almost half off during Prime Day
There's a lot to expect from this year's Prime Day, since it's been extended to run from July 8 to 11. One thing is for sure, though: you won't have to spend hundreds of dollars to get good tech this time around. Right now, you can grab a pair of Anker Soundcore Space A40 wireless earbuds for only $45, which is the best price we've seen. That's nearly half off their normal price, too. The Anker Soundcore Space earbuds are currently our top pick for best budget wireless earbuds. While their performance doesn't rival that of more premium products, we felt the Space A40's feature set offered excellent value for such a budget-friendly set of earbuds. This is the lowest price we've ever seen for the top budget pick in our guide to the best wireless earbuds. $45 at Amazon These earbuds connect via Bluetooth, support connection to two devices at once, and come in a case that supports wireless charging. We were most impressed with the Space A40's active noise cancellation (ANC), a feature rarely seen at this price point. While it's not the most sophisticated ANC on the market, it does its job in blocking out the steady rumble of a train or jet engine. Battery life is solid for a budget pair of earbuds, reaching roughly eight to 10 hours depending on use, with another 40 hours or so supplied by the case. In-ear fit is comfortable, as the round earpieces are pretty light and evenly balanced. The audio quality is impressive for its price point, offering a warm sound that can be fine-tuned with an EQ in the Soundcore app. A subpar built-in mic means the Space A40s don't have the best transparency mode and aren't the best for phone calls in noisy areas, but overall for $45 these are a great deal.
