Upgrading your PC in 2021 has sucked, quite frankly, due to the global chip shortage, but early Amazon Black Friday deals have dropped, and they’ve just taking some of the pain out of building a computer.
A whole week before Black Friday actually happens, early Amazon Black Friday deals have cut the price of a range of super-fast SSDs. Adding an SSD to your PC is one of the best upgrades you can make, as not only does it give you more space to store your files, apps and games, but modern SSDs, especially M.2 SSDs, are incredibly fast. Installing apps, games or even Windows 11, on one of these drives will make your PC load up much faster.
There are loads of Black Friday SSD deals to sift through, but we’ve picked the very best and highlighted them below. If you’ve been waiting to upgrade the storage of your PC, then now’s the perfect time to get buying.
The deals directly below are at Amazon UK – if you’re not in the UK, scroll to the bottom of this article to see SSD deals in your region.
