Amazon.com - Blue Yeti USB Microphone for $100
(repost)

With most people working from home, home-office equipment is in high demand. Deals on professionally-sounding microphones are rare, but Amazon does have this Blue Yeti in Black for $100. Most stores sell this mic for about $130.

It connects to a USB port on a PC or Mac, and provides better audio quality that on-laptop microphones, earpods, and headsets.

This version is bundled with Ghost Recon Breakpoint for PC, a nice free bonus.

It's a popular microphone for home offices and postcasters. Some people sell their used Blue Yeti microphones (not the Nano) for about $80 on Ebay, so $100 new with 2-year warranty is a great deal.

BestBuy.com - Western Digital External/Desktop 12TB USB Hard Drive $180
(expired)

Western Digital Easystore 12TB External/Desktop USB3.0 Hard Drive for $180 today. Normally about $212.

12TB is massive storage, capable of storing about 200 hours of HD-quality videos, or over 200,000 24-megapixel raw/uncompressed camera photos. The price is great too, at 1.5¢ per GB.

Inside the case is likely a Western Digital "Red" drive that normally costs over $250. It is possible to remove the drive and plug-in to a Serial-ATA docking station or install inside a desktop computer. If you don't mind voiding the 2-year warranty, grab some guitar picks and watch this video to pop open the case and take out the hard drive. We have done this 5 times with similar Western Digital external drives, putting the drives in a network-connected "fileserver" PC at home for backing-up photos, videos, and important documents. The Serial-ATA drives themselves are super reliable and perform very fast (at least 120 MBytes/sec writes).

BestBuy.com - Western Digital 8TB External/Desktop USB Hard Drive for $130
(repost)

Western Digital Easystore 8TB USB3.0 External/Desktop hard drive for $130. One of the highest rated USB hard drives on the market today, and useful for storing a lot of backups.

Best Buy had sold it for $120 around Black Friday, and $130 is still a great deal.

A method called "shucking" is a popular way to get a high quality 8TB internal drive for NAS and fileserver computers. Popping open the enclosure voids the 2-year warranty, but does give a 8TB Western Digital Red drive that would normally cost about $210.

BestBuy.com - Western Digital External/Desktop 12TB USB Hard Drive $180
(expired)

Western Digital 12TB External/Desktop USB3.0 Hard Drive for $180 today. This is an excellent quality hard drive for backing up photos, videos, and important files.

Some people have popped open the case and removed the 12TB hard drive for use in a NAS, file server, or hard drive docking station. This is called "shucking", and with a little physical effort of prying opening the case (watch this video and use these guitar picks), you can get a 3.5" Western Digital Red 12TB hard drive that would normally cost over $300. This may void the 2-year warranty, though.
