Saving money on PC components is a genuine joy. Picking up a cheap SSD Prime Day deal, for example, means you can either save cash to spend on another component of your PC, or you can get more fast storage for your money. Whether you're buying a new SSD for gaming, or just to make Windows boot faster on your PC, there's always a deal to suit your needs over Prime Day.
The SSD Prime Day deals in 2020 cover a wide range of drives - including both SATA and the quicker M.2 NVMe models, and many feature in our best SSD round-up. While all these deals below are for internal use, you can buy adapters that convert these sticks into super-fast external storage for your laptop (especially because laptop drives are normally tougher to upgrade).
We love the Samsung drives, especially the 970 series, for high-performance PCs. If you're gaming, this is where you need to shop. However, if you're just looking for mass storage to replace an older HDD, or to act as a secondary drive in your rig, then some of the regular SATA models - like the WD Blue series - will get you loads of storage space for far fewer dollars.

If you're looking to upgrade the storage drive in your PC, there are a few things to check before you do. We're sure you've already considered this, but just in case... You need to make sure your motherboard supports an M.2 drive, if you're getting a fast NVMe SSD. No M.2 slot? You'll need to upgrade your mobo before you can boost your storage, sadly. Most modern motherboards have these slots, but if you're running an older one, definitely check before you spend.
Another obvious one is to check you're getting the right size drive, especially if you're upgrading a laptop. Always check the manufacturer guidance on your laptop before you buy and make sure you can even get into your machine period. Some laptops don't allow at-home upgrades, and digging into them will void your warranty and can make a mess of your machine.
If you're upgrading a video game console like a PS4, make sure you're getting the right size of drive for these too. You need a 2.5" drive for a PS4, for example, and should stick to SATA.
