Grab a 4TB SSD for 4 cents per gigabyte ahead of Prime Day with external SSDs for under 5 cents per GB

Cheap PCIe SSD

You won’t find a cheaper 4TB SSD ahead of Prime Day. Newegg sells the KingSpec SSD 4TB SSD for $169.19, a saving of 23%. At just over 4 cents per GB, this is by far the cheapest SSD per capacity on the market right now.

With a transfer speed of 560MB/s, it has plenty of storage space for your games, applications and videos, especially if you buy five of these and run them in RAID-5 mode (as one Newegg customer did).

If that’s not what you want I’ve listed 30 of the top 4TB SSDs deals (internal and external) I could find on sale. 4TB represents the new sweet spot for SSD capacity; they are now cheaper on average, per TB, than their 2TB counterparts (except for one).

I've listed 4TB SATA models for affordability from under $170, 4TB portable SSDs for less than $200 and superfast Gen5 SSD from under $330.

While I would not recommend using the KingSpec 4TB SSD to fill up a NAS (as it is only rated at 1.92PB written), it would be a perfect solution for external storage (e.g. as a portable SSD) when paired with the right enclosure.

In other words, buy a 4TB because it makes more sense especially as large capacities usually have higher endurance. They can support more “writes” over their lifetime before starting to fail or becoming more reliable.
