Best Black Friday SSD deals 2022

In contrast to last year, Black Friday deals feel downright exciting in 2022. For SSDs in particular, the good prices keep on stacking up. Case in point: a 2TB NVMe drive for just $80!

That said, with discounts everywhere, it can be hard to distinguish the good SSD deals from the merely so-so. That’s where we come in. Below is a list of the best SSD deals you can pick up at the moment. These drives are not only well-rated and popular, but they’re at or very near all-time low prices, too.

Best early Black Friday 2.5-inch SATA SSD deals

A SATA SSD is a great buy whether you’re upgrading your boot drive from an HDD or seeking a more affordable SSD to expand your PC’s storage, and an even better decision when you can save this kind of cash. The Samsung 870 Evo, popular for its rock-solid reliability, has hit its lowest price across several capacities. But don’t count out other brands, especially if you have a niche need. The WD Green drive on sale is a low-power model, making it better suited for laptops.

Micro Center’s crazy in-store discount on a 2TB NVMe SSD (just $80!) is still available, depending on where you live. Stock is very low now, with very few locations still offering this screaming deal.

But plenty of other excellent discounts are available online. Whether you need a wallet-friendly budget model or one with blistering speed, you can find something. We’re eyeing the SK Hynix models, as both the blistering fast Gen 4 P41 and still speedy Gen 3 P31 at all-time lows. The P41 is an especially great deal, given that’s not only cheaper than the better known Samsung 980 Pro, but is faster in benchmarks, too.
