World Backup Day is always a great time to backup your most important files or invest in new storage for your data. The event happened Sunday, but if you missed the big sales happening at various retailers, don’t fret. There are a number of deals still up for grabs, helping you nab extra storage to back up your files without paying full price.
Keeping your data backed up is important, especially because you never know when something could go wrong, which is why the 3-2-1 rule of data storage exists. That means you should ideally have three copies of your data on at least two types of storage and at least one of those should be off-site. As such, you should absolutely take advantage of these deals while you still can to ensure redundancy for your data. You’ll thank us later.
To that end, we’ve gathered deals on options ranging from flash drives and microSD cards to internal solid state drives, huge NAS systems and even cloud storage. However, now that the event is over, these deals could end any minute, so we recommend making your selection soon to avoid disappointment.
