Cheap SSD Prime Day deals - big savings on solid state drives for PC builds

Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB SSD: $499 $299 at Amazon
Save a massive 40% on this market-leading SSD. The Samsung 970 EVO Plus series is perfect for any PC build, especially if you're creating a rig for gaming. It has a super quick 3500MB/s read-speed, which will cut down on software load times, and it comes with a five year warranty from Samsung.

Samsung 970 EVO 1TB SSD: $179 $149 at Amazon
You save $30 on this excellent M.2 SSD from Samsung. The 970 EVO series is ideal for most PC builds, and you can transform it into a very quick portable SSD with the right USB-C shell. The EVO is a step down from the PRO, but that means you get more GB for your dollar, so this is great value.

WD Black SN750 2TB NVMe: $400 $248 at Amazon
You're getting $152-off this Prime Day on one of the best SSDs you can buy, especially if you have a gaming PC. This is the 2TB model, which gets you a ton of space for storing games and apps, and it has impressive 3400MB/s transfer speeds to cut those load times right down. Snap this one up while you can.

Kingston 500GB SSD: $66.49 $49.99 at Amazon
Save 25% on this excellent value M.2 drive from Kingston. What you're getting here is superb NVMe performance for less than $50, which is still very rare with SSDs. Kingston is a good name in storage, so this is a great deal, especially if you're looking for a smaller M.2 drive to boot Windows from.

Western Digital Blue 2TB SSD: $229 $176 at Amazon
This SATA SSD is 23% off right now. While WD Blue is one of the slower SSDs out there, you get a heck of a lot of storage for your money, so 2TB of SSD for less than $180 is a good deal. We'd recommend using this one as a secondary storage drive, and getting a smaller NVMe SSD to boot essential apps from.

WD Blue SN550 500GB SSD: $57.99 $54.99 at Amazon
Only a small saving here, but the WD Blue SN550 is cheap NVMe storage, and perfect as a boot-drive for Windows. You can also transform it into a portable/external drive for a laptop, if you pick up housing for it, and still get excellent value per GB on fast M.2 SSD storage.

Samsung 860 PRO 4TB SSD: $999 $729 at Amazon
You're saving a very respectable 27% on this SATA drive from Samsung, but it's still very expensive. What you get, however, is all the SSD you'll need for almost any PC. At 4TB this has enough storage for 100s of games and apps, and with it being a Samsung PRO drive, you're getting some of the quickest SATA speeds out there.

Samsung 860 PRO 1TB SSD: $299 $199 at Amazon
You're saving 33% on this excellent 860 PRO SSD from Samsung. This versatile drive sits very comfortably in the middle of the pack in terms of both value and speed. This means you can use it as your primary drive in a cheaper PC build, or a very slick secondary in a more extreme PC. It'll boot Windows, games, and apps incredibly fast, and at this level of performance, 1TB for under $200 is very good.

Samsung EVO 860 2TB SSD: $279 $249 at Amazon
You're saving $30 on this tried and true Samsung SSD. While the 860 EVO series is an older style now, it's still incredibly reliable, and one of the best SATA drives out there. With 2TB here that's plenty for quick, easy-to-access storage in your PC. It'll boot Windows quick, but can't match the 970 drives in 2020. The price difference, however, it significant.

Crucial MX500 1TB SSD: $114.99 $95.99 at Amazon
The saving isn't huge on Crucial's MX500 drive, but you're still getting excellent value here and a $20 discount. We like that Crucial offers reliable SATA storage at a good price, and 1TB for less than $100 is well worth considering if you need to replace an HDD with something quicker, but don't have a huge budget.
