Save Big On Memory Cards, Hard Drives, and SSDs for World Backup Day | PetaPixel

Huzzah! It is March 31, so it is time to celebrate World Backup Day. If you don’t have secondary or tertiary storage for your files, or you just want to save big on hard drives and memory cards, join us in our revelry.

Like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, or any other commercial “holiday,” now is the time to grab a deal. World Backup Day began when a Reddit user’s hard drive failed, and they lost all of their files. They remarked that they wished someone had reminded them of the importance of having a backup. Therefore, in 2011, Ismail Jaden began a campaign to remind us to back up our data. Every year, on March 31, we feast, and we back it all up.

In addition to just a reminder, World Backup Day observance is all about saving you on backup systems, desktop hard drives, memory cards, or portable storage drives. It’s partly a tongue-in-cheek holiday, partly a fun day for brands to make jokes and offer discounted storage. However, it is a good reminder to double triple check that you really are regularly and properly backing up your precious files. If you need a device for that, here are some of our favorite deals to save you big money on this year’s World Backup Day.
