File sizes only keep increasing, making it easy to fill modestly sized storage drives fast. If you’ve been wanting to expand the storage in your laptop or desktop PC, now’s the time to do it—Amazon (and its competitors) have a whole slew of SSDs and hard-disk drives on sale during Prime Day.
The splashiest deals encompass a couple of 1TB NVMe SSDs for under $100, Samsung’s popular SSDs available at all-time lows, and ultra-affordable 3.5-inch drives:
Crucial P5 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe Internal SSD, $91.19 (48% off)WD Blue 1TB SN550 M.2 PCIe NVMe Gen3 SSD, $84.99 (32% off MSRP)Samsung 870 EVO 500GB SATA 2.5-inch SSD, $54 w/ coupon on Newegg (17% off)WD Blue 2TB 5400RPM 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive, $39.99 (33% off)WD Black 4TB WD 7200RPM 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive, $126.99 (33% off)
Equally as eye-catching are the inclusion of deals on high-capacity SSDs. For the longest time, capacities above one terabyte have remained sticky, inching down in tiny increments. But Amazon Prime Day’s discounts have temporarily upended that, making bigger drives affordable. Case in point: Right now, you can get a 4TB Samsung 870 QVO for $322.99 and a 4TB WD Blue for $379.99, both all-time low prices that work out to less than $100 per terabyte. Even the top-tier 2TB Samsung 980 Pro, a PCIe Gen4 drive that boasts blazing speeds and a premium price tag, is down to a cool $330.
Fans of spinning platter drives have plenty to dig into, as well, whether you’re looking for a performance-oriented HDD, high-capacity models, or a drive designed for long-term use in a NAS. You can find those deals and our full list of storage bargains in our roundup of Amazon Prime Day PC component deals (including smaller capacity drives), so be sure to check out all the details. Prices last should last through both days of the Prime Day extravaganza—or until stock runs out.
