Amazon Prime Day is officially over, and you'll definitely struggle to find a better external hard drive deal!

Amazon have left $240 knocked off the price of this WD 18TB external hard drive, putting the cost-per-TB at $16 – or just slightly over 1 cent per GB. And its not even Prime Day any more!

The WD 18TB lets you store thousands of images, videos, files, and more - and you won't be slowed down by the speedy USB 3.2 Gen 1 with its 5 Gigabits per second transfer speed.

I spent all week looking, but no other Amazon Prime Day deal came close to beating an external hard drive of this capacity, at this price. So if you need plenty of storage space or are looking to build a home backup solution - and you missed the Prime Day discounts - you can still grab this great deal!

Despite Prime Day finishing yesterday, this deal stopped me in my tracks. It's not often you see a hard drive of this capacity in a deal as good as this.

The USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection offers instant plug-and-store capability to help you backup all your important data at a blistering 5 Gbit/s.

It's slim, too, at just ‎5.31 x 1.89 x 6.53 inches and weighing just 2.67 pounds, it certainly won't break the bank and will keep your desk looking neat and tidy.
