Prime Big Deal Days, which everyone is calling October Prime Day, ends at midnight PT on Oct. 9. And in the waning hours of the sale, we’re counting down the best Prime Day deals on hard drives. Why hard drives?
See, you can always count on certain Prime Day deals to come back again and again. Echo devices and Roombas are always going to go on sale. Then you have niche products like Tushy bidets. However, there’s another category you might not expect: memory products. We’re talking about external hard drives, SD cards, and SSDs, all of which see huge discounts during events like Prime Day and Black Friday.
Smart shoppers know that to make the most of these sales, you sometimes have to skip over the trendy new products. It’s often better to stock up on household staples and necessities for work. Thus, hard drives.
Need a new hard drive for gaming? WD_Black and Seagate have deals on their external hard drives for PC gamers and Xbox players. Need to back up your portfolio? SanDisk and Samsung have discounted their SSD drives by as much as 45% for October Prime Day. And if you need a massive external hard drive for work, you can find big 16GB drives on sale. Video editors can even find a very rare markdown on LaCie Rugged hard drives, just in case the other 50 you own are full.
Read on to find all the best Prime Day deals on hard drives, whether you need an HDD, SDD, or don’t know the difference. (SSD stands for solid state drive, and due to the lack of moving parts, they tend to be more reliable, faster, and produce less heat.) You’ll also want to prioritize devices with fast speeds so you’re not waiting all day for uploads.
The Best Deal on Hard Drives: Samsung T9 Portable SSD 4TB
Opens in a new window
Why we like it
This solid state drive has 4TB of storage space. You can also depend on its 2,000MB/s read and write speeds for fast transfers. Unless you’re a video editor, 4TB is a lot of space, and this could be the last hard drive you need to buy for a really long time. Not only will this portable drive stay cool compared to HDD products, but Samsung designed this to work seamlessly with iPhones, which means no more low storage warnings.
