Search Questions
What information can I search on?
A search parameters are built from keyword components. The following are examples:
Keywords
- Brand (ie. SanDisk)
- Interface (ie. USB)
- Capacity (ie. 2TB)
- Cooling (ie. Heatsink)
- Compatibility (ie. PS5)
- Retailer (ie. Amazon)
- Pricing (ie. @$500)
- Performance (ie. r7400)
Think of multi-component search as AND logic — sandisk amazon returns only results that match both sandisk and amazon. There is no OR, no phrase matching, and no ranking by relevance.
How to Find the Drive That Fits Your Budget
Three worth knowing upfront. @$050 is how you search under $50 — the leading zero is required. @$999 catches everything under $1,000. And @$1k flips the logic — it's the only keyword that shows drives over that threshold, for when you're shopping high-capacity or enterprise-class storage.
Stack a price keyword with any other search term to zero in fast. Looking for a Samsung drive under $400? Type "samsung @$400". Want to see what Sabrent has for under $50? Try "sabrent @$050". Shopping for a high-capacity SanDisk external under $1,000? Go with "sandisk 8tb @$999".
I want to see everything from Sabrent.
This is a brand search. The parameter can be entered as "Sabrent", "SABRENT", or "sabrent".
I only want Sabrent products sold directly by Sabrent.
This is a retailer search. Other retailers include "Amazon", "B&H", "Best Buy", and "Newegg".
Is the WD Black SN850X available on Amazon?
This is an example of a multi component search.
I have a $100 budget. How do I filter by price?
This shows all drives priced at $100 or less, sorted by the best discounts first.
I only want deals with at least 20% off.
Results are sorted by the best discounts first, so the biggest savings always appear at the top. For example, searching "samsung" will show all Samsung drives ranked by discount percentage — any drive with 20% or more off will be right at the top of your results.
I want SSDs sold with heatsinks.
I want a heatsink for the SSD I already own.
I searched for an item I found in the product catalog and got nothing in pricing.
Pricing only shows products which are in stock. The product catalog does not filter on availability.
Will "SAT" find "SATECHI"?
Yes, partial word parameters are permitted although this is not best practice. Remember, one of the purposes of search is to mitigate the 12 product display limitation.
I typed a full sentence description and got nothing.
If there was a product with each of these words, it would work. Parameters entered as "1tb nvme @$200" works.
Does "Best Buy" need to be typed as two words?
Yes, that's how the data is formated.
Can I combine brand, retailer, and price in one search?
How do I search for Out of Stock products?
Out of Stock catalog only!
Combine with other keywords to narrow the results — for example, "crucial #nostock" shows only out of stock Crucial drives.
Other availability keywords include: #unavailable, #backorder, #discontinued, and #removed.
How do I search products with a 10 star performance rating?
Product catalog only!
How do I find SSDs with a specific read speed?
Product & Pricing Catalogs only. Format: r[value] (e.g., r14900). No commas.
Write speed not yet supported.
How do I comparison shop products at $299?
Confused about what to search for?
Searches are often bound to the page. Price searches are only available on pricing pages. Blog searches on the blog page, etc. If you keep getting "No Data" messages, first confirm you are on the correct page. Start simple (ie. sandisk), and then add additional parameters to sharpen your focus (ie. sandisk 2tb).
