This week's best SSD deals and hard drive deals
2.5-inch SSD deals
KingDian 120GB SSD | Now £38.99 | Amazon
With 120GB SSD deals being a bit scarce of late, it's made more sense to look towards the larger 240GB Sold State Drives instead, especially as they've been the same price lately. KingDian range of cheap drives offers a modest saving over the 240GB deal below though.
Drevo X1 Series 120GB SSD SATAIII SSD Solid State Drive | Now £40.99 | eBay
While the Drevo brand doesn't carry as much weight as the likes of SanDisk or Toshiba, they're one of the cheapest options this week for a 120GB Solid State Drive.
SanDisk 240GB Solid State Drive Plus | Now £66.09 | eBay
If you know you're going to need some extra space for games or movies, we'd recommend this deal over the smaller SSDs. If you're not sure about going with the Phison deal below, then this is your best deal for a more recognised brand.
Phison 240GB 2.5-inch Solid State Drive | Now £59.99 | Amazon
If you want to save a few quid over the previous deal then you can get another 240GB SSD from Amazon while stocks last.
Crucial MX300 275GB SATA SSD | Now £77.99 | Amazon
240GB not enough but you really need to keep the cost down? £77.99 isn't much more expensive and is the best price around for a drive of this size.
Transcend 480GB 2.5-inch SSD |Now £95.42 | Amazon
This is the cheapest option for a 480GB SSD and is actually nearly £30 cheaper than its usual price. Prices have been going up on most drives in recent weeks, so this one may sell out fast. Under £100 for a 480GB SSD is not to be missed.
Toshiba Q300 480GB 2.5-inch SSD | Now £109.97 | ebuyer
This is the next best option for a 480GB SSD and still a great deal at under £110. Or you can double up with the 960GB offer below.
SanDisk Ultra II 960GB 2.5-inch SSD | Now £199 | Amazon
A tenner cheaper this week than the next best deal and with other drives of this size going for considerably more, this is the one to go for if you need something sooner rather than later.
WD Blue 1TB 2.5-inch Internal SSD | Now £250.98 | ebuyer
Like the idea of a 1TB SSD deal, but don't want to pay over £300? That sounds like a reasonable enough request and ebuyer is one of the few sites complying (by some distance!) at £250.98.
Kingston 1TB SSDNow KC400 deals
This new 2.5-inch SSD from Kingston is super fast and ideal for laptops or even a PS4. It's newness is keeping the price quite high though, with most retailers hovering around the £320 mark for early adopters. Keep an eye on this comparison chart below though for the latest prices and you'll hopefully find a better deal as time goes by.
3.5-inch PC hard drive deals
Toshiba P300 2TB 3.5-inch High-Performance Hard Drive | Now £62.99 | eBuyer
With most retailers charging over £70, this cheap internal drive is well worth a look if you're wanting to upgrade the capacity on an older PC.
Toshiba P300 3TB 7200RPM 3.5-inch Hard Drive | Now £79.97 | ebuyer
The price for this 3TB drive is impressive enough, but the increased 7200RPM speed is another big selling point too.
Seagate ST4000DM000 4TB 3.5-inch Hard Drive | Now £116.40 | Amazon
This is one of the cheapest 4TB PC hard drives we've seen for a while and should provide enough space for most users. Most other drives of this size start at about £135.
Toshiba X300 5TB 3.5-inch Extreme-Performance Hard Drive | Now £149.42 | BT
This speedy 7200RPM hard drive is excellent value if you're looking for a large 5TB capacity. If you need something that big though, maybe we can tempt you with the 6TB drive below instead?
Toshiba X300 6TB 3.5-inch Hard Disk Drive 7200RPM | Now £183.36 | BT
This Toshiba drive isn't a massive leap in price over the 5TB option above. Still not enough space though? That's ok, we have some even larger hard drive deals below.
Seagate IronWolf 10TB 3.5-inch hard drive deals
This brand new hard drive from Seagate has just been released and our very own Matt Hanson gave it a highly recommended 4.5/5 rating in his extensive appraisal. Prices are pretty high, but you can use our comparison chart below to track the latest prices if you're after the best deal on this huge hard drive.
External hard drive deals
The Seagate drives in our comparison chart below are regular tennants on this page so we've included a range of the best prices for different sizes of their Expansion series of portable and desktop hard drives. Below these deals you'll find our other favourite external hard drive deals.
Maxtor M3 1TB USB 3.0 Slimline portable hard drive | Now £46.29 | Amazon
A great price for a portable drive with 1TB of space. This is currently the very cheapest 1TB option in our internal hard drive deals guide.
Seagate Backup Plus Slim 1 TB USB 3.0 portable hard drive | Now £54.99 | Amazon
This hot discount was previously only available to Amazon Prime members. It's for everyone now and a fantastic price for such a small-build portable hard drive.
Transcend 1TB Military-Grade Shock Resistance Portable Hard Drive | Now £55.99 | Amazon
This 1TB USB 3.0 external drive is a bit pricier than the offers posted above, but it's able to withstand clumsy drops or getting bashed about a bit. If you need something that's going to travel with you a lot, this is certainly one to consider.
Maxtor M3 2TB USB 3.0 Slimline Portable Hard Drive | Now £68.41 | Amazon
We haven't had a decent 2TB deal in while as the prices have been way too close to the 1TB or 3TB options. At this price though, this 2TB hard drive deal sits nicely between the other sizes.
Seagate Expansion 4TB Desktop USB 3.0 external hard drive | Now £99.99 | Argos
This Seagate offer from Argos is your next best option for a 4TB external hard drive, especially as Amazon's offer for a similar drive last week has shot up by £10. This really should be plenty of space unless you're storing a lot of media files.
Toshiba 4TB StorE Canvio Desktop Hard Drive | Now £94.49 | ebuyer
This 4TB drive is a tenner cheaper than Amazon's cheapest 4TB external hard drive and features a more stylish design (well, as external hard drive chassis go at least).
Toshiba 5TB Canvio Desktop Hard Drive | Now £109.97 | ebuyer
For the sake of around £15, we think it's worth upgrading to the 5TB external drive over the 4TB option above. That's as cheap as you'll find for an extra 1TB of storage and should future-proof you in terms of needing a larger drive for a few years at least.
Seagate Expansion 5TB USB 3.0 external Hard Drive | Now £123.75 | Amazon
If the Toshiba deal above doesn't do it for you, you could opt for this Seagate drive, so maybe hang on for a discount. It's also listed as Xbox One compatible, which is very handy if you're still struggling with the constrictive default 500GB internal one.
Samsung 6TB D3 Station External Hard Drive | Now £169.99 | My Memory
This USB 3.0 drive is one of the largest external drives out there this deal from My Memory is the cheapest around this week after the ebuyer deal from last week expired.
Seagate Backup Plus 8TB USB 3.0 Desktop 3.5 inch External Hard Drive | Now £199.99 | Argos
The 8TB drives seem to be the cutoff point before the ridiculously expensive 10TB drives, and this is the best deal we can find. £200 might sound pricey, but considering the best price for a 10TB external drive is nearly £500, we think this is pretty good.
