Best Prime Day SSD deals

SSDs lie at the heart of many a modern device, from PC handhelds like the Steam Deck and ROG Ally to full-size desktop PCs, laptops and even the PlayStation 5. Here are the best Prime Day deals we’ve spotted for each region, with special sections for high-end PCs, PC handhelds, older PCs without NVMe slots and more.
UK deals
So far, the best deals we’ve seen have been on high-end NVMe SSDs suitable for both PS5 and PC. The Corsair MP600 Pro LPX is being offered in a 2TB Heatsink model for a very reasonable £119, and we’d recommend this for most people. If you need the absolute fastest drive on the market, you can get it with the Samsung 990 Pro, with huge 4TB and smaller 2TB Heatsink models discounted today.
