If you've got a hard drive that's started clicking like an ornery chinchilla, then it's time to find a new storage solution before you face a full-on failure. Luckily for you, we've rounded up the weeks' best storage deals. Save $21 on a Samsung 750GB SSD, get a Western Digital 1TB portable HDD for the same price we saw on Black Friday, or score a Corsair 128GB USB 3.0 flash drive for $45.

Samsung 750GB 840 EVO SATA 2.5" Internal SSD
 Store: BuyDig via eBay
 Price: $379 with free shipping
 Lowest By: $21

Is It Worth It?: Since you're replacing that HDD anyway, it's a good time to consider switching to an SSD. The Samsung 750GB 840 EVO SSD is extremely tempting at $379, or $0.51/GB. An Editors' Choice, $21 price-drop from our last mention, this SSD's performance is comparable to the more expensive Samsung 840 Pro models, according to AnandTech: "Performance is consistently great across all of the EVO capacity points. There's also no difference between the EVO's behavior here and the 840 Pro."

Western Digital 1TB My Passport Ultra USB 3.0 External Hard Drive
 Store: Newegg
 Price: $59.99 via coupon code "EMCPHWG28" with free shipping
 Lowest By: $9
 Expires: February 19

Is It Worth It?: For dependable storage you can take with you, the Western Digital 1TB My Passport Ultra is an excellent choice in Blue or Titanium. According to CNET's reviewer, this portable drive's tiny footprint belies its powerful USB 3.0 capabilities: "Topping my USB 3.0 testing charts, the aesthetically pleasing WD My Passport Ultra proves that stellar performance can come in a very small package." This Editors' Choice external drive drops to $60 after coupon code "EMCPHWG28", which is $0.06/GB and tied with our Black Friday mention.

G-Technology 1TB 2.5" USB 2.0 External Hard Drive
 Store: Adorama
 Price: $49.95 with free shipping
 Lowest By: $19

Is It Worth It?: If you don't need the zippy transfer speeds that come with a USB 3.0 drive, the G-Technology 1TB USB 2.0 external HDD costs $10 less than the WD drive above. A $19 price low at $50, this Editors' Choice hard drive runs at 5400rpm and features a 480MB/s transfer rate.

Corsair 128GB Voyager Slider USB 3.0 Flash Drive
 Store: Newegg
 Price: $44.99 via coupon code "EMCPHWG39" and $20 mail-in rebate with free shipping

Is It Worth It?: If you'd rather not lug around a full drive, you can pack a lot of data onto the Corsair 128GB Voyager Slider USB 3.0 flash drive. You'll save $25 on this flash drive, which features a convenient 1-piece design and USB 3.0 transfer speeds. Get it at the Editors' Choice price of $45 by using coupon code "EMCPHWG39" and redeeming the $20 mail-in rebate above.

SanDisk 8GB Cruzer USB 2.0 Flash Drive
 Store: Best Buy
 Price: $4.99 with free shipping
 Lowest By: $5
Is It Worth It?: Should 128GB be way more space than you need, this SanDisk 8GB Cruzer USB 2.0 flash drive is a steal at $5, saving you $5. This easy-to-use flash drive boasts a retractable USB connector and 128-bit AES encryption.
 Best Buy has even more USB 2.0 flash drives on sale, with prices starting at $4.99. Choose from capacities ranging from 8GB to 32GB; each is a price low by at least $4 and ships for free.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
