The outlook for PC component prices look grim for 2026. Storage and RAM in particular is affected, with prices already risen in recent weeks. (Blame AI datacenters.)
So in contrast to previous years, Black Friday isn’t merely a time to get a good deal. It could be your last chance for a while to get any kind of decent deal. But with costs having risen overall, it’s that much harder to spot actually good discounts. In fact, some are downright bad. That’s where we come in. Our list of SSD and storage deals are the best you can grab.
How we pick deals: I look for drives that are well-rated, popular, and at (or near) all-time low prices. If you see a bargain you like, don’t wait—especially with shortages currently ramping up. The better deals always sell out, and you might end up kicking yourself about missing out.

This Black Friday definitely feels more subdued for SSD deals, but a few decent deals stand out. For blistering speeds and future-proofing, grab the 2TB Crucial T705, a speed freak in our testing that is now back down to its all-time low price. Meanwhile, the tiny 2230 version of Crucial P310 is a great choice for Steam Deck owners. And though the Samsung 990 Pro has climbed in price (in part due to market factors), you can get its rock-stable reliability at a reasonable discount right now.
Best Black Friday deals on general PC storage
External SSD storage
1TB portable SSDs
- Samsung T9, 1TB USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD – $95 (36% off at Amazon)
2TB portable SSDs
- Crucial X9, 2TB USB-C 3.2 Portable SSD – $110 (9% off at Amazon)
- Crucial X10 Pro, 2TB USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD – $150 (51% off at Best Buy)
- Samsung T9, 2TB, USB-C 3.2 Portable SSD – $180 (25% off at Amazon)
- Lexar Professional Go with Hub, 2TB, USB-C 3.2 Gen Portable SSD — $190 (37% off at Amazon)
4TB portable SSDs
- Crucial X9, 4TB USB-C 3.2 Portable SSD – $199.48 (14% off at Amazon)
- Crucial X10, 4TB USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD – $230 (49% off at Best Buy)
External HDD storage
- WD Elements Desktop HDD Storage, 14TB Desktop HDD, 2-yr warranty – $170 (39% off on Western Digital)
- Seagate Expansion Desktop HDD, 24TB Desktop HDD, 1-yr warranty – $240 (28% off at Best Buy)
- WD Elements Desktop HDD Storage, 20TB Desktop HDD, 2-yr warranty – $270 (22% off on Western Digital)
In terms of raw storage capacity, you still can’t beat external hard-disk drives. At just $10 per terabyte, Seagate’s 24TB external hard-disk drive is a monster of a deal, with matching storage capacity. I strongly recommend it as the best discount on an external HDD right now, but if you don’t need as much space or prefer another manufacturer, Western Digital drives are enjoying a decent price cut now, too..
As for external SSDs, a few good deals have finally cropped up at last. My pick: the 4TB Crucial X10, which is twice as fast as the X9 model and earned a score of 4.5 out of 5 in our review. Oh, and it’s weatherproof, with an IP65 rating.

FAQ
Are Black Friday/Cyber Monday SSD and storage deals worth it?
Yes! You can save a significant amount of money during Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales—sometimes hundreds of dollars on a high-capacity drive. The trick is to know what’s a good deal, and what’s not. That’s where we come in: We’ve scoured reputable online retailers, looking for demonstrably good hardware with legitimately solid discounts.
How much are SSDs and storage on Black Friday/Cyber Monday?
Prices depend on the usual street or retail price of the SSD model—so type of drive, its capacity, and its speed are all factors. (The only caveat: Those street prices have risen in this past year, due to the AI datacenter boom. Demand from those businesses has been that high.)
This year, expect to pay around $100 to $110 for a 1TB NVMe Gen 4 drive, and $130 to $170 for a 2TB NVMe Gen 4 drive. But the easier guideline is to just look for discounts of at least 15 to 20 percent or more, depending on the model.
Are Black Friday/Cyber Monday SSDs and storage lower quality?
Nope! Unlike other products, storage vendors don’t produce special models for sale periods like Black Friday/Cyber Monday. These are the same models you’d find on a retail shelf or available on a website throughout the rest of the year.
What should I look for in a Black Friday/Cyber Monday SSD or storage deal?
The best Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals drop prices on SSDs and HDDs from reliable brands. A good discount starts around 15 to 20 percent—and a great deal will be 30 percent or more. Typically, the bigger bargains are higher-capacity SSDs.
For the specific brands to watch, stick with known names like Samsung, Crucial, Corsair, SK Hynix, and Western Digital. Kingston, Solidigm, and TeamGroup are also options. The further afield you go, the more likely you’ll end up with underperforming (aka slow) drives.
Pay attention to the model, as well. You can often find multiple drives from a single vendor on sale. The usual sweet spots are discounts on high-performing drives rarely on sale and steep price cuts on budget models.
What kind of SSD or storage should I buy?
This is the big question. If you’re on a budget, and have a laptop or a PC that has space for a 2.5-inch drive, a humble SATA SSD will already feel like a lightning-fast upgrade from a spinning-platter (HDD) boot drive. SATA SSDs also exist in the gumstick M.2 form factor, but they’re rare now that faster NVMe SSDs are common.
For those trying to decide between NVMe Gen 4 and NVMe Gen 5 drives, you can buy a Gen 4 drive and still get excellent speed. However, if you need the absolute fastest speeds because you move around large files, then a Gen 5 drive will help better futureproof you. Generally, if you’re building a PC for gaming or light office work, a Gen 4 drive is a fine investment.
Still having trouble deciding? You can check out our guide on choosing an SSD for more details about each type of solid-state drive.
Which SSDs does PCWorld rate the highest?
PCWorld tests and reviews new SSDs every month, so if you’re looking to see what we recommend without regard to deal prices, check our rankings of the best SSDs of 2025. But it’s not an either/or situation: Sometimes our top picks go on sale during November!
