The Best Prime Day SSD Deals for 2024

Samsung’s 990 Pro SSD is down to $150 for Prime Day. We generally recommend Samsung SSDs if you need one for your gaming console or rig thanks to their fast speeds, overall reliability, and different capacities to choose from. The 990 Pro is one of the latest models, and the bundle with the drive and a heat sink is also discounted for Prime Day.

Our top pick for the best portable SSD, the Crucial X9 Pro, is currently on sale for $98. In our testing, we found that this model delivered excellent performance and stayed relatively cool even when subjected to extreme conditions. It comes with a five-year warranty and boasts a compact yet rugged design that’s rated IP55.

The Crucial MX500 internal hard drive is down to $52 for Prime Day. One of our longtime favorites, this drive has a 2.5-inch design, which should allow it to easily fit into most laptops and desktops. It also features 256-bit AES hardware encryption and built-in power loss immunity to protect your data in the event of a power outage.

You can get the Samsung T7 Shield SSD right now for just $100. This model supports read/write speeds of 1050/1000MB/s and boasts an IP65-certified design. It will resist damage from water and dust and can withstand drops of up to 3 meters.

The Samsung T9 portable hard drive is currently on sale for $130. In addition to offering fast read and write speeds, this new SSD features dynamic thermal protection to manage high temperatures and works with all sorts of devices, including phones like the iPhone 15 and game consoles.

If you need more than 1TB of space, the 2TB version of Seagate’s Xbox Storage Expansion Card is your only option. It’s currently on sale for $230. That’s not the lowest price we’ve seen, but it’s $20 less than the average sale price for the device over the past few months. The 1TB version of this card is also on sale for $130, but there’s little reason to buy it when WD’s model is $10 cheaper and offers virtually identical performance.

To be clear, both Xbox cards are extremely expensive compared to more traditional SSDs. Still, they’re just as fast as the Xbox’s internal storage, and setting them up is as simple as plugging them into the console’s expansion port, with no extra steps required. These deals should make them a little easier to accept if you’re short on space on your Series X/S and don’t want to constantly delete and reinstall games to make room.

The Samsung Pro Plus microSD card is down to $21 for Prime Day. It’s our top pick for the best microSD card for most people right now thanks to its consistently fast speeds and excellent value. You also get a full-size SD card adapter with this version.

The Samsung Pro Ultimate microSD card is currently on sale for $20. If you’re looking for a slightly faster option than the Pro Plus, this is a good alternative. It’s the fastest microSD card we tested for our guide, and it also comes with a full-size SD card adapter.

The Samsung Evo Select microSD card is on sale for $15 for Prime Day, earning a spot in our microSD card guide for its excellent value. If you’re just looking for a relatively cheap card to equip your tablet, Nintendo Switch, or other device with some reasonably fast storage, you can’t go wrong with this model.

You can pick up a Lexar Professional 1667x SD card for $28 right now thanks to Prime Day deals. This is another storage device we recommend for photographers and camera enthusiasts because it does a good job of balancing speed and overall value.

WD’s My Passport portable SSD is down to $99 for Prime Day. It’s a good option for most people who need a portable SSD for basic use, but we also recommend it to photographers thanks to its fast performance, compact design, drop protection, and 256-bit AES hardware encryption.

The Kingston XS1000 is on sale for $75 for Prime Day. It’s one of our top picks for the best portable SSDs available right now, earning a top spot thanks to its fast performance, five-year warranty, and ultra-compact design (it fits easily in a pocket). Just note that it doesn’t have an official IP rating or drop resistance, so it’s best suited for indoor, office use.

It’s a bit annoying, but the only way to fully expand the storage of an Xbox Series X/S is with a proprietary expansion card. (You can technically use a standard card too, but you’ll only be able to store current-gen games on it, not play them.) Right now, there are only two official expansion cards available, but both are on sale for Prime Day.

The price of the , for example, is down to $64 for a 512GB model and $120 for a . The former is $15 off and is a record low price, while the latter is $30 off.
