The best Prime Day SSD deals

• SK Hynix Platinum P41 (1TB) for $76 ($19 off MSRP): This is the lowest price we've seen in a year for SK Hynix's fast PCIe 4.0 internal SSD. This is a great option for PC or PlayStation 5 – just remember it doesn't come with a heatsink.

• WD Black SN850X (2TB) for $143 ($47 off): If you want a drive with similar performance but need more capacity, this deal should be a good fit. The SN850X is the most popular PCIe 4.0 choice in our guide to the best SSDs. This discount isn't the lowest ever, but it's about $10-$15 below the usual rate for the 2TB model over the past few months. The 4TB model is about $45 cheaper, as well as $264, although we've seen this model cheaper in the past.

• Crucial P310 (2TB) for $177 ($88 off): The P310 is a small SSD designed for more compact devices such as the Steam Deck or the ASUS ROG Ally. It uses cheaper QLC memory rather than the more efficient TLC, but reviews suggest it will still perform well in something like the Deck. This is the lowest price we've seen for the 2TB variant.

• Crucial X9 Pro Portable SSD (1TB) for $85 ($10 off): The X9 Pro is a top pick in our guide to the best portable SSDs, combining reliable performance with a rugged, compact design. We've seen this 1TB model go significantly cheaper in previous sales, but it's stayed in the $90 to $100 range for almost all of last year. This discount marks the lowest price we've tracked since January.

• Kingston XS1000 Portable SSD (2TB) for $100 ($40 off): The Kingston XS1000 small drive takes second place in our guide, with the average retail price of a 2TB drive being about $20 less.

• Lexar SL500 Portable SSD (1TB) for $85 ($45 off): This is another USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 model, so most people can safely skip it in favor of a cheaper USB 3.2 Gen 2 SSD or, if you need more performance, a faster USB4 drive. However, if the SL500 fits your setup, the discount is about $5 to $10 less than the regular retail price of the 1TB model.

The best Prime Day microSD card and other storage deals

Expired Prime Day storage offers

• Samsung 990 Pro with Heatsink (4TB) for $266 ($214 off): The Samsung 990 Pro is widely recognized as one of the fastest PCIe 4.0 drives on the market. This variant comes with a heatsink, so it's immediately ready for the PS5, although it'll likely be overkill for more everyday tasks, and you can always save money by adding your own heatsink to a cheaper SSD. That said, if you don't want to bother with that and need a ton of space, this is an all-time low.

• Crucial T705 (2TB) for $228 ($172 off): Most people don't need to pay extra for an ultra-fast PCIe 5.0 drive like the T705, but if you have high performance needs and have a compatible motherboard, it's about $45 less than the average price of a 2TB model.

• SK Hynix Beetle X31 Portable SSD (1TB) for $65 ($70 off): Similarly, the pocket-sized Beetle X31 should do the job if you only need 1TB of space. This deal is a few dollars off the lowest price we've seen and costs about $25 off the drive's regular street price.

• Crucial X10 Pro Portable SSD (2TB) for $147 ($43 off): To get the most out of it, you'll need a device that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2×2, but the X10 Pro is essentially a faster version of the X9 Pro above. Again, this discount isn't the lowest ever, but in recent months the retail price for the 2TB model has been around $190.

• SanDisk microSDXC Card for Nintendo Switch (128GB, 2-pack) for $28 ($12 off): Switch's SanDisk branded microSD card is not the fastest we have usedbut it's great for most uses and is a solid value for a two-pack.

• SanDisk Ultra microSD Card (1.5TB) for $89 ($61 off): If you don't care that much about performance and just want a big chunk of space for as little money as possible, this deal should work for you. You'll have to deal with slower transfer speeds, but the discount reduces this 1.5TB card's typical rate in recent months by about $20.

• Xbox WD Black C50 Expansion Card (1TB) for $121 ($37 off): It's a pain in the neck, but it's the only way expand completely Xbox Series X/S storage involves using a proprietary expansion card like the C50. This deal isn't the lowest it's ever been, but it's $10-$20 cheaper than the typical street prices we've seen over the last few months.
