Amazon Prime Day is on now through July 12, which means it’s time to stock up on one of the most expensive upgrades a gamer can get: more storage. If you’re cashing in on deals for PC games or treating yourself to a device that uses lots of data, like a new camera, you’re going to need more space. Prime members are in a unique position to double, triple, or quadruple their storage with some of the best external hard drives and solid state drives on the market—and some are slashed up to 73 percent for Prime Day.

Whether you’re a photographer who needs a four-terabyte speed demon or a gamer looking to add a few more gigs of saved data to your PlayStation 5, we’re seeing incredibly low prices on high-quality, fast-transferring data storage solutions. Even if you aren’t a power user, you can snag an external drive that’s big enough to cover your phone and computer backups for the rest of time (that is, if you delete those useless screenshots—c’mon, you can do it).

Check out the best external hard drive and SSD deals below.

Rugged Mini 5TB External Hard Drive Portable HDD

If you prefer an external hard drive to an SSD—whether for the cheaper price tag or the virtually unlimited overwrites—this five-terabyte HDD from LaCie is an excellent and affordable pick. At just $120 for Prime members right now, this is one of the cheapest ways to get the most storage—and the device itself is water, dust, and shock resistant to protect your data.

16TB Elements Desktop External Hard Drive

For desktop workhorses and stationary gaming PCs, this Western Digital storage tower is basically an IT department in a box. Okay, not really; but it will offer you enough storage for seemingly endless photos and videos (especially if you upgrade to the 22-terabyte option), and it’s totally safe from drops since it sits right on your desk with your computer.

This one works as quick, plug-and-play storage for any PC or Mac, but it might be overkill if you’re just looking for support for occasional backups.

Game Drive for Xbox 2TB External Hard Drive Portable HDD

Approved by Xbox itself, this quick gaming hard drive can add two terabytes to your Series S, Series X, or Xbox One in seconds. It isn’t the fastest hard drive on the market, but with the Game Drive software designed to play nice with your console, it’ll work great for Xbox users.

This size is a good deal, but you can save even more if you splurge on the eight-gigabyte model, which is $184 for Prime users today.

T7 Shield 4TB Portable SSD

This rugged SSD is made to endure drops, dust, internal heat, and even a little bit of water. If you’ve ever lost beloved photos or important files due to a corrupted hard drive, you know how much of a boon that is.

It comes in multiple sizes, but the four-terabyte model is the best deal, offering expansive storage space for $200. This one is also compatible with the PlayStation, but you’ll have to hook it up to a PS4 to use it for play—it can only store games on the PS5.

4TB Extreme PRO Portable SSD

This external SSD is lauded by videographers and photographers for its ultra-fast, heatsink-supported transfer speeds that make quick work of backups and downloads. It’s the ultimate external storage for travelers, too, since it doesn’t have a disk inside that risks breaking from drops.

Best of all, the four-terabyte model is discounted to $240 for Amazon Prime Day, and it’s waterproof, drop-resistant, and has a handy clip so you don’t lose it. The five-year warranty is especially nice for folks with important data to store, too.

4TB SN850X NVMe Internal Gaming SSD

If you have a PS5, you’re probably well on your way to filling up your internal storage—even if you only have a few games. The small storage is one of the only flaws with the near-perfect console, but don’t fret: You can get four terabytes of PS5-ready storage for $300 with this Prime Day deal.

This SSD is lightning-fast, which is helpful both for load times and for making sure you don’t have any lag from using a third-party drive. If you play a lot of big games, whether on your PlayStation, Xbox, or PC, this is an excellent deal on expansive storage.
