But as always, these counters to higher component prices can sell out before then. If you see something you like, grab it ASAP.

Want to know the best drives out there? Have a look at our top picks for the best SSDs of 2025 and the best external drives of 2025. Looking for even more deals, including limited-time ones? Check out all of our Amazon October Prime Day coverage.

Best October Prime Day 2025 deals on internal SSDs

2.5-inch SATA SSDs

SATA SSD pricing has been hit the hardest by current market forces, in part due to the greater popularity of NVMe SSDs. But if all you’re seeking is an upgrade to an old PC’s hard disk drive, you’ve got options.

M.2 NVMe SSDs

Gen 4

Gen 5

SSD prices have been rising gradually—so while the best prices now don’t match historical all-time lows, you can still find good prices on well-regarded drives. The 2TB Samsung 990 Pro is a particularly nice find, with superb performance and a discounted price just $10 more than its all-time low.

SSD and storage deals FAQ

1.

Why aren’t SSDs as cheap as they once were?

The balance between demand and supply has shifted. Most recently, data centers have begun buying up SSDs, shrinking the number of drives available to consumers. But while you can’t expect to see the incredible prices of 2023, deal periods like Prime Day help counteract cost increases.

2.

Do brands matter for SSDs and storage?

Yes, but only to a point. Major manufacturers are generally reliable—think Samsung, Crucial, Western Digital (aka WD), SK Hynix, Corsair, Kingston, and even newer players like TeamGroup and Solidigm. Outside of that, you may be playing a bit fast and loose with your data’s longevity.

However, everyone has that one horror story about a hard-disk drive that failed, and why they’ll never use, say, WD or Crucial again. That’s less commonly a manufacturing error, and more so a matter of luck. No drive is guaranteed to meet its life expectancy, which is why you should perform regular backups.

3.

Is an SSD better than a HDD?

SSDs are faster and take less room in a PC than a hard-disk drive (HDD), which gives them a strong edge. If you only have one storage drive in your PC, it should ideally be an SSD so you get faster boot times and quicker access to your files. A HDD as your primary drive will feel much slower.

But HDDs still have their advantages. First, they’re much cheaper. The going price of a 2TB HDD is about the same as the sale price for a 1TB SSD. You also can get them in higher capacities than SSDs. If you work with huge files, you can pick up an 18TB or 20TB HDD (and as mentioned, since HDD cost less, you’ll spend as much or even less as a 4TB SSD). If you need secondary storage and you don’t need it to be fast, HDDs are a fantastic option.

4.

How do I know if an SSD deal is good?

Here’s the guideline we use for picking deals: First, it should be for an SSD that performs well (or in select cases, performs well for its MSRP), and is a reasonable price when not on sale. The discount should also be significant for that particular model. Ex: For SSDs that almost never go on sale, a reduction of $5 to $10 is already hefty. For others, that might be closer to $20 to $30.

5.

Have tariffs affected SSD and storage prices?

Tariffs have caused small increases on computer components, but SSD pricing has been more affected by data centers. Demand has grown enough that supply available to consumers have shrunk, driving up prices. That said, tariffs could begin to affect SSDs and storage more notably after the holidays, which is when retailers’ pre-tariff stockpiles of goods is expected to run out—which means any new stock imported into the U.S. will be taxed at higher rates.
