I’ve been watching as Amazon Prime Day is going full swing, this July 16 and 17, 2024. I’ve realized a couple of things after covering a couple of different Prime Day sales over the years:

• There are so many Prime Day Deals that you’ll never be able to find them all on the app or the Amazon website.
• Not all prices listed on Prime Day Deals are the cheapest on the web.
• You can spend more time searching the web for a comparable or better deal but that can be a real time suck and … what’s your time worth to ya?
• Sometimes, you must be sure you’re getting a Prime Day Deal and not just a regular Amazon price.
• You can blow a lot of money (and time) on Prime Day Deals.

That said, here are a few I’ve been tracking this first day of Amazon Prime Day 2024. I’ll update this a few time until this Prime Day is over.

You can never have enough SSDs, especially the 4TB variety:

SAMSUNG T9 Portable SSD 4TB, USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 External Solid State Drive, Seq. Read Speeds Up to 2,000MB/s for Gaming, Students and Professionals,MU-PG4T0B/AM, Black.  $284.99

Here’s a no-name USB-C SSD, 4 TBs for a bit cheaper but I’d probably go with the name brand if it was me:

4TB External SSD Portable, Up to 2000MB/s, External Solid State Drive External Hard Drive, USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C SSD for iPhone 15/Pro/PC/Laptops/Creators/Gaming

$223.67

Elgato has a few Stream Deck products on sale, though personally, I prefer the Loupedeck products, but I don’t see any of them on sale for Prime Day:

Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 White – Studio Controller, 15 macro keys, trigger actions in apps and software like OBS, Twitch, ​YouTube and more, works with Mac and PC

$109.99

And the folks from Elgato are even promoting their owns Prime Day sales!

Goddamn this deal is great too

Wave:3 only 104.99 both black and white

With this mic you get Wave Link software – gives you the entire audio mixer experience but it’s ez to use and creates zero mess on your desk.
