If you have a PC, tablet, gaming handheld<\/a> in need of a storage boost, Amazon\u2019s latest October Prime Day sale<\/a> looks to be a solid time to upgrade. The two-day event, which runs through Wednesday, includes a handful of all-time lows (or at least near-lows) on recommended internal<\/a> and external SSDs<\/a>, microSD cards<\/a> and other storage gear. We\u2019ve picked out a few deals worth your time below, and we\u2019ll update this post as new offers arise. Just note that you\u2019ll need to be a Prime subscriber to see some of the offers.<\/p>\n WD Black SN850X (2TB) for $140 ($50 off)<\/strong><\/a>: If you want a similar performing drive but need more capacity, this deal should fit the bill. The SN850X is the top PCIe 4.0 pick in our guide to the best SSDs<\/a>. This discount isn\u2019t an all-time low, but it\u2019s about $10 to $15 below the 2TB model\u2019s usual going rate over the past several months. The 4TB model<\/a> is about $45 off at $264 as well, though we’ve seen that one go for much less in the past.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Samsung 990 Pro w\/ heatsink (4TB) for $266 ($219 off)<\/strong><\/a>: The Samsung 990 Pro is widely rated as one of the fastest PCIe 4.0 drives on the market. This variant comes with a heatsink, so it\u2019s PS5-ready from the jump, though it\u2019s probably overkill for more casual tasks, and it\u2019s always possible to save cash by adding your own heatsink to a cheaper SSD. That said, if you don\u2019t want to bother with that and you need a ton of space, this is an all-time low.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Crucial P310 (2TB) for $177 ($88 off)<\/strong><\/a>: The P310 is a small-size SSD for more compact devices like the Steam Deck<\/a> or ASUS ROG Ally<\/a>. It uses cheaper QLC memory, not the more performant TLC, but reviews<\/a> suggest<\/a> it’ll still run well in something like the Deck. This is the lowest price we’ve seen for the 2TB variant.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Crucial X9 Pro portable SSD (1TB) for $85 ($10 off)<\/strong><\/a>: The X9 Pro is the top pick in our guide to the best portable SSDs<\/a>, combining dependable performance with a rugged compact design. We’ve seen this 1TB model go for much less in previously sales, but it’s sat in the $90 to $100 range for almost all of the past year. This discount marks the lowest price we’ve seen since January.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Kingston XS1000 portable SSD (2TB) for $102 ($38 off)<\/strong><\/a>: The diminutive Kingston XS1000 is the runner up pick in our guide, and this deal takes about $20 off the 2TB drive’s average street price as of late.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n SK Hynix Beetle X31 portable SSD (1TB) for $65 ($70 off)<\/strong><\/a>: The similarly pocketable Beetle X31 should do the job if you only need 1TB of space. This deal comes within a couple bucks of the lowest price we\u2019ve seen and takes about $25 off the drive\u2019s usual street price.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Crucial X10 Pro portable SSD (2TB) for $147 ($43 off)<\/strong><\/a>: You need a device that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 to take full advantage of it, but the X10 Pro is essentially a faster version of the X9 Pro above. Again, this discount isn\u2019t an all-time low, but the 2TB model has typically retailed around $190 in recent months.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Lexar SL500 portable SSD (1TB) for $85 ($45 off)<\/strong><\/a>: This is another USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 model, so most people can safely skip it for a cheaper USB 3.2 Gen 2 SSD or, if you need more performance, a faster USB4 drive. If the SL500 fits into your setup, though, this discount is about $5 to $10 less than the 1TB model\u2019s usual street price.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Samsung Bar Plus USB flash drive (128GB) for $13 ($8 off)<\/strong><\/a>: The Bar Plus is a basic but dependable thumb drive if all you need is a simple stick to hold and transfer files. It\u2019s typically sold between $15 and $20 over the past year.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n SanDisk microSDXC Card for Nintendo Switch (128GB, 2-pack) for $28 ($12 off)<\/strong><\/a>: SanDisk\u2019s Switch-branded microSD card isn\u2019t the fastest we\u2019ve used<\/a>, but it\u2019s perfectly suitable for most use cases, and this is a solid value for a two-pack.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Lexar Professional Silver Plus microSD card (256GB, 2-pack) for $39 ($7.49 off)<\/strong><\/a>: The Silver Plus is among the faster UHS-I microSD cards on the market (so long as you use an appropriate USB adapter). This discount is an all-time low for a pair of 256GB cards.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Lexar Professional 1066x microSD card (1TB) for $75 ($70 off)<\/strong><\/a>: The Professional 1066x is another serviceable (if unspectacular) card we\u2019ve tested for our guide. This deal takes about $15 off the average street price we\u2019ve seen recently for the 1TB model.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n SanDisk Ultra microSD card (1.5TB) for $89 ($61 off)<\/strong><\/a>: If you don\u2019t care about performance so much and just want a big chunk of space for as little cash as possible, this deal should work. You\u2019ll have to deal with slower transfer speeds, but the discount takes roughly $20 off this 1.5TB card\u2019s typical going rate in recent months.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n WD Black C50 Xbox Expansion Card (1TB) for $121 ($37 off)<\/strong><\/a>: It\u2019s a pain in the neck, but the only way to fully expand<\/a> the storage of an Xbox Series X\/S is to use a proprietary expansion card such as the C50. This deal isn\u2019t an all-time low, but it\u2019s $10 to $20 cheaper than the typical street prices we\u2019ve seen over the last several months.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Seagate Xbox Storage Expansion Card (2TB) for $199 ($50 off)<\/strong><\/a>: If you want to add 2TB to your Xbox, meanwhile, this is the best price to date for Seagate’s expansion card. There’s little performance difference between this and the C50, so which one is best simply comes down to how much space you need.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Follow <\/em>@EngadgetDeals<\/em><\/a> on Twitter for the latest tech deals and buying advice, and stay tuned to Engadget.com for all of the best tech deals coming out of <\/em>October Prime Day 2024.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nBest Prime Day SSD deals<\/h2>\n

SK Hynix Platinum P41 (1TB) for $76 ($19 off MSRP)<\/strong><\/del><\/a>: This matches the lowest price we\u2019ve seen in a year for SK Hynix\u2019s speedy PCIe 4.0 internal SSD. It\u2019s a fine option for PCs or the PlayStation 5 \u2014 just note that it doesn\u2019t come with a heatsink.<\/del><\/p>\n<\/li>\nCrucial T705 (2TB) for $240 ($160 off)<\/strong><\/del><\/a>: Most people don\u2019t need to pay extra for an ultrafast PCIe 5.0 drive like the T705, but if you have heavy-duty performance needs and you own a compatible motherboard, this is about $45 off the 2TB model\u2019s average going rate.<\/del><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
