Amazon Prime Day SSD deals cover everything from the absolute fastest PCIe 4.0 internal drives, to upgrade your PC or your console, to portable SSDs that enable you to transfer massive image or video files in seconds. And they’re one constant through the deals events of the past few years. Even in the years where most PC components have been hard to find, solid state drives have been abundant.
If you’re still running an old HDD on your gaming rig, I am imploring you to consider upgrading to an SSD during Prime Day. SSDs are faster, more efficient, and way more reliable than those old spinning relics of PC gaming’s past. If your motherboard has the latest PCIe 4.0 interface, there are plenty of decent options where you can save a buck.
If you’re still on PCIe 3.0, don’t worry. PCIe 4.0 SSDs are backward compatible and will run on your system. While it won’t perform to its full potential, it should hold you over by the time you’re ready to make the upgrade. If you’re all about saving money, you’re going to see a lot of PCIe 3.0 SSDs on sale.
The only bad thing about SSDs is that higher-capacity drives are ridiculously expensive. Anything above 2TB can easily cost you around $400. But if you really need one, this is the time to shop for it since even those storage beasts aren’t immune to the Prime Day discount.
If portability is more your thing or just looking to increase storage on your gaming console, external SSDs are another big item that’ll have impressive markdowns.
