My Top Technology Picks for Black Friday

Black Friday is an exciting time to pick up some great deals on tech. I have my eye on a few items, some of which I already purchased at great pre-Black Friday prices!

The items that made this list are either items I personally own, want, or have already ordered. Most product links below are from my favorite retailer, Amazon. The obvious choice if you want your items to come fast and the return process is really easy if you change your mind.

Here is my list of top tech to buy this Black Friday.

Samsung 860 EVO 500GB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD – $73

Amazon is currently selling, as of this post, this highly rated drive for only $73. I plan to use this drive as a replacement for a standard SATA drive in my old Windows laptop. My current SATA drive is acting up and probably will die soon. So swapping it out ASAP is a priority. As an added bonus, the SSD drive swap will give me a big performance gain compared to the SATA drive that is currently installed.

Features:

• Powered by Samsung V-NAND Technology. Optimized Performance for Everyday Computing
• Enhanced Performance: Sequential Read/Write speeds up to 550MB/s and 520MB/s respectively
• Ideal for mainstream PCs and laptops for personal, gaming and business use
• Hardware/Software Compatibility: Windows 8/Windows 7/Windows Server 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit), Vista (SP1 and above), XP (SP2 and above), MAC OSX, and Linux
• Included Contents: 2.5″ (7mm) SATA III (6Gb/s) SSD & User Manual (All Other Cables, Screws, Brackets Not Included). 5-Year Warranty
