It is Prime Day 2021 and we thought we’d give some highlighted items with an IT twist! Our focus is going to be on deals for building your home lab… but there may be some others we highlight such as better working from home, etc.
Here’s why we’re doing this: We could use your support, and by clicking the links and doing all of your PrimeDay shopping from our links – you get to spend the same amount but we get a commission to support our efforts. These links may work outside of the US but… we just aren’t sure. You may also need to temporarily turn off Ublock or similar plugins to see the images properly. We wish you luck!

Lab Build
Storage
Samsung 2TB 980 PRO NVMe drive is 27% off ($313 vs $430) – note, rated at 600 TBW which is a speed trade off from the previous gen)
Western Digital 1TB NVMe drive (I use the same ones in my primary production machine – not recommended for high write-IO servers or CHIA plotting per se (600 TBW) but these are amazing for the price – $172 vs $203)
This HUGE 4TB NVMe from PNY is 21% off at $590. Not as fast as the 980 PRO or the WD Black, but keep in mind it only supports 900 TBW. Great for games, video editing and such but not for heavy writes for sure.

This is a little of a stretch but I’ve learned the hard way recently that ‘standard’ UPS really doesn’t work well. Mine has been chunking thr
Glad to see a Thermaltake Toughpower GX2 80+ Gold 600W for 30% off – great for storage builds (which is why I’m ordering one 😉

Bose Noise Cancelling 700s are gorgeous and $170 off the $400 list price. I’ve had the same pair of Bose serve me for well over a million miles in the air and countless coffee shop hours. Save 43% on the “Soapstone” model (black and grey are $70 more)
This Samsung QLED 49in Curved gaming monitor is 40% off! ($900 after $600 savings; this is $300 under Amazon’s usual price)
We have one of these. We named him Geordi. The eufy RoboVac 11s is $130 ($100 off) Available in white as well.

I’m especially interested in the shock absorbing features
