Newegg.com - Deals on Samsung SSDs
Deals on the list include:
- Samsung 980 M.2 500GB Gen 3 SSD for $55.25 with code EMCEYSB59 (11¢/GB). Normally about $65.
- Samsung 980 M.2 1TB Gen 3 SSD for $93.50 with code EMCEYSB59 (9.4¢/GB). Normally about $110.
- Samsung 980 Pro M.2 500GB Gen 4 SSD for $102 with code EMCEYSB59 (20¢/GB). Normally about $120.
- Samsung 870 QVO-Series 8TB 2.5" Serial-ATA SSD for $595 with code EMCEYSB59 (7.4¢/GB). Normally about $700.
The 1TB Gen 3 SSD is a great value for any M.2-compatible desktop or laptop that you want fast boot and speedy load times.

The 980 Pro is a Gen 4 SSD, which can provide a performance improvement if your computer supports this new spec. Samsung also uses SLC caching on this drive, which provides snappier performance bursts taking advantage of the faster Gen 4 interface.

The 8TB 2.5" SSD is an expensive but small & silent alternative to a 3.5" 8TB hard drive. It's Serial-ATA interface and QLC cells provide slower performance than the M.2 drives of about 100-250 megabytes per second, so it's about the same speed as an 8TB hard drive. We feel this SSD is meant for long-term data storage rather than a boot drive.

Newegg.com - Western Digital Black 5TB Portable Hard Drive $96
The Western Digital Black 5TB P10 Game Drive doesn't get much cheaper than today's deal of $96 (apply code 93XRJ29 to get the price).

This highly rated 5TB portable drive was available at Amazon for $92 last month, and can usually be found for between $100 and $120. A portable hard drive is handy for game console systems that need big storage, and for backing-up personal photos, videos, and documents.

Newegg.com - Seagate External 8TB for $200, Portable 5TB for $100
Hard drive prices have gone risen over the last two months, but here are two deals that are not wildly expensive:
- Seagate Expansion Desktop/External 8TB Hard Drive for $200 ($25/TB)
- Seagate Backup Plus 5TB Portable Hard Drive for $100 with code EMCEWSB34 ($20/TB)
- Toshiba 2TB Canvio Advance Portable Hard Drive for $62 with code EMCEWSB35 ($31/TB)
All are good for backing-up personal photos, videos, and files. The portable drives are smaller, while the larger desktop drive copies large files at a faster rate.

For another storage deal, a Leven 2TB 2.5" SSD is available for $165.

Newegg.com - Acer 960GB 2.5" SSD for $80
Acer SA100 2.5" 960GB Solid State Drive for $90, and code EMCEWSA24 applies $10 off. Code applies in the cart.

Newegg.com - Western Digital Black 5TB Portable Hard Drive $110
(repost)

Western Digital Black 5TB P10 Game Drive for $125, and code 93XRC62 applies $15 off in the cart. Normally sells for $125.

Compatible with PC and Mac, this 5TB hard drive is great for backups of photos, videos, and other personal data. Game console owners can use this as additional storage on a Playstation 4 and newer, and Xbox One and newer.

This is a portable hard drive, smaller than a 3.5" internal and an external/desktop hard drive, and is warrantied by Western Digital for 3 years.

For a similar deal, Newegg is also selling a Seagate Portable 5TB Hard Drive for $100. Other than a 1-year warranty instead of 3 years, the Seagate should work and perform about the same as the Western Digital Black at a $10 less price.

BestBuy.com - Western Digital External/Desktop Hard Drive 8TB $140
(expired)

(repost)

Demand for large-capacity hard drives have risen quickly, pushing their prices up by 30-45%. For example, a 12TB hard drive that was $180 four weeks ago is now $260, a 44% increase.

This is one of the only hard drive deals available today:
- Western Digital Easystore 8TB External/Desktop Hard Drive for $140 from Best Buy. Was $128 last week, which is only a 10% increase. Most other stores are selling it for about $180 now.
Drives 4TB and under, as well as portable drives, have not had a price jump. For example,
- Seagate 5TB Portable Hard Drive for $90 from Costco (membership required). Has been at this price for a month.
- Seagate 5TB Portable Hard Drive for $98 from Newegg when applying code 93XQW79 in the cart.
