Save $47 on this 2TB Seagate External Hard Drive at Amazon for Black Friday

By Anita George November 25, 2020

Black Friday is less than two days away but that doesn’t mean you have to wait until November 27 for the best Black Friday deals on external hard drives. In fact, let’s take a look at one of the best Amazon Black Friday deals around for an external hard drive: A 2TB Seagate Backup Plus Slim that costs just $53.

If you need spacious amounts of storage and portability at a price that’s easy on your wallet, then look no further than this external hard drive from Seagate. (And if you still want to shop around for other external hard drives, be sure and check out our guide to the best Black Friday external hard drive deals.)

Generally, it can be difficult to find a lightweight external hard drive that also boasts a massive storage capacity. Especially if you need one that’s less than $100. But thanks to Black Friday and Amazon, you really can have it all because the Seagate Backup Plus Slim is only 4.6 ounces and still offers 2TB of storage. And since you’d only be paying $53 for a hard drive that normally sells for nearly twice that at $100, you’d be getting 2TB for a steal!

But there’s more to the Seagate Backup Plus Slim than just its storage capacity. With this deal you would also be getting an external hard drive that is compatible with both MacOS and Windows, has an easy-to-use plug and play connectivity with its support for USB 3.0, and native tools like customizable backups and folder mirroring. If this is your first external drive, this deal from Seagate is a great way to start getting into the habit of backing up your work at a very affordable price.

However, if this external hard drive still doesn’t fit your needs, you may want to take a look at another comparable deal: the 1TB Western Digital Easystore. You’ll get an 1TB of storage space and the same easy-to-use connectivity with USB 3.0. With this deal, you’ll still get quite a bit of storage at an even lower price: just $48.

This Milwaukee tire inflator is 59% off in Amazon’s Black Friday Sale

Milwaukee M18 Inflator connected to a van tire.

One of the most rewarding parts of covering Black Friday deals is finding an essential tool at a truly low price that can help our readers get out of a jam. Such is the way with this Milwaukee M18 Inflator, which will inflate your tires to a precise PSI at the touch of a button. This device is perfect for people that already own one of Milwaukee's M18 tool batteries, which is what it uses, but (we'll soon see) it is also a fantastic entry point into using Milwaukee cordless power tools. Normally the Milwaukee M18 Inflator is $310, but you can get one now for $128. That's a savings of $182. Tap the button below to grab one quickly, while they're still in stock, or keep reading for why we like it.

Why you should buy the Milwaukee M18 Inflator
First and foremost, the Milwaukee M18 Inflator provides an easy way for you to inflate your tires in a pinch or awkward situation. It is particularly great for the tires of riding lawnmowers. They tend to be awkward to get to the gas station or other place where you traditionally inflate tires and would be a pain to hand inflate. Usage of the machine is simple. Insert an M18 Milwaukee battery, set the desired PSI for the deflated tire, connect to the tire and wait until it is done inflating. The Milwaukee M18 Inflator will stop pumping air automatically once the ideal PSI is achieved. When you're done, the Milwaukee M18 Inflator is small and easy to tuck away, being about the size of a lunchbox.

Top 5 Black Friday Printer Deals
HP DeskJet 2734e -- $50, was $85

The HP DeskJet is probably one of the most common printers you'll find, and while it's not one of the best cheap printers you can get, it comes close. Given that it's a very budget-oriented printer and scanner combo, it is rather basic and mostly works best for those who don't have a ton of printing to do every month. It can print in both monochrome and colors, which is impressive for something so cheap, and boasts 1200 x 1200 dpi for blacks and 4800 x 1200 for color so that you can get a bit of quality out of it too. There's also a 1200 x 1200 DPI resolution scanner on board if you need to scan and copy. Luckily, you can print off a mobile app directly through Apple AirPrint, Chrome OS, HP Smart app, and Mopria, which is an excellent feature for something in this price bracket. As if that wasn't enough, this deal throws in nine months of Instant Ink, so it's one of the best Black Friday printer deals if you don't do a ton of printing and need something cheap.
