Prime Day SSD deals — 5 drives I'd buy with savings up to $350 off

SanDisk Extreme Portable (External / 1TB): was $139 now $79 @ Amazon
This is actually the SSD that’s currently hanging out of the back of my PS5. I’ve always found it to be sturdy and reliable. Read/write speeds are reasonable for a plug and play drive at this price range, with read speeds of up to 1,050 MB/s and write speeds maxing out at 1,000 MB/s. 

Acer Predator GM700 (Internal / 2TB): was $136 now $116 @ Amazon
If you’re comfortable tinkering around with the insides of your desktop PC, this 2TB Gen 4 NVMe drive offers sequential read/write speeds of up to 7800 MB/s and 6700 MB/s respectively. It’s also compatible with PS5, should you want to upgrade your console’s internal storage. 

Crucial X9 (External / 2TB): was $150 now £$120 @ Amazon
Crucial is one of the most-respected companies when it comes to manufacturing drives and this 2TB X9 model boasts read speeds up to 1,050 MB/s. Its plug-and-play nature means you can easily hook it up to your laptop, PC, PS5 or Xbox Series X.  

Samsung 990 Pro (Internal / 4TB): was $479 now $279 @ Amazon
LOWEST PRICE! This is the lowest price I’ve ever seen this colossal drive go for. Install this puppy inside one of the best gaming PCs and you’ll be able to download a dizzying amount of Steam games. It’s obviously quick too, with read/write speeds of up to 7450/6900 MB/s. Just note that this is a "Prime Exclusive Deal", meaning you have to be an Amazon Prime member to get the 990 Pro at this historic price.

Samsung T5 EVO (External / 8TB): was $799 now $449 @ Amazon
Yes, EIGHT freakin’ terabytes. That’s obviously a lot to pay for a portable SSD, but imagine how much stuff you could squeeze onto this 8TB T5. Thousands of videos, hundreds of games, an unimaginable number of photos. Also, that $350 saving is damn impressive.
