Prime Day 2024 includes a range of storage discounts despite a market strained by artificial‑intelligence data‑center demand, which has driven consumer drive prices higher than in recent years. While the offers do not always match historic lows, several portable SSDs, internal solid‑state drives, large hard drives and network‑attached storage units are available at reduced prices before the sale concludes.
The Samsung T9 Portable SSD 1 TB is listed at $179.99, down from $287.99. Its compact size and high transfer speeds make it suitable for users who regularly move large photo, video or game files between devices.
The Samsung 9100 Pro 2 TB internal SSD is offered for $349.99, reduced from $679.99. Built on a PCIe 5.0 interface, it targets high‑performance computers for gaming, video editing and other data‑intensive tasks, though older systems may not fully exploit its speed.
Crucial’s P510 1 TB SSD is priced at $162.97, a drop from $224.50. It provides an affordable entry point to PCIe 5.0 storage for compatible machines, potentially improving load and transfer times in newer gaming or editing setups.
SanDisk’s Extreme Portable SSD 2 TB is available for $232.99, reduced from $261.84. The drive offers portable solid‑state capacity ideal for photographers, frequent travelers and laptop users who need additional space without a bulky desktop unit.
The same SanDisk line’s 8 TB portable SSD is listed at $709.99, down from $839.99. Its unusually large capacity suits professionals handling extensive video libraries or project archives who would otherwise require multiple smaller drives.
WD’s Elements Portable Hard Drive 5 TB is offered at $194.00, down from $274.99. As a high‑capacity HDD, it delivers cost‑effective storage for backups and archived files, though its slower speed makes it less suitable for direct video editing.
WD’s My Passport Portable SSD 1 TB sells for $184.99, reduced from $312.99. The compact SSD includes password protection and hardware encryption, providing a secure option for transporting work files or personal documents.
Other major retailers are running parallel sales during the same period, offering comparable discounts on storage products for shoppers without Amazon Prime membership.
All listed discounts are valid through the final day of the Prime Day event, after which prices are expected to revert to standard retail levels.
