This week’s best SSD deals and hard drive deals

2.5-inch SSD deals

KingDian 120GB SSD | Now £50.29 | Amazon

With 120GB SSD deals being a bit scarce of late, it's made more sense to look towards the larger 240GB Solid State Drives instead, especially as they've been the same price lately. KingDian range of cheap drives offers a modest saving over the 240GB deal below though.

Drevo X1 Series 120GB SSD SATAIII SSD Solid State Drive | Now £45.99 | eBay

While the Drevo brand doesn't carry as much weight as the likes of SanDisk or Toshiba, they're one of the cheapest options this week for a 120GB Solid State Drive.

SanDisk 240GB Solid State Drive Plus | Now £76.99 | Amazon

If you know you're going to need some extra space for games or movies, we'd recommend this deal over the smaller SSDs. This is your best deal for a more recognised brand than cheaper deals we saw last week.

WD Blue 1TB 2.5-inch Internal SSD | Now £268 | Amazon

Like the idea of a 1TB SSD deal, but don't want to pay over £300? That sounds like a reasonable enough request and Amazon is one of the few sites complying (by some distance!) at £268.

Kingston 1TB SSDNow KC400 deals
This new 2.5-inch SSD from Kingston is super fast and ideal for laptops or even a PS4. It's newness is keeping the price quite high though, with most retailers hovering around the £320 mark for early adopters. Keep an eye on this comparison chart below though for the latest prices and you'll hopefully find a better deal as time goes by.

3.5-inch PC hard drive deals

Toshiba P300 2TB 3.5-inch High-Performance Hard Drive | Now £60.29 | Amazon

With most retailers charging over £70, this cheap internal drive is well worth a look if you're wanting to upgrade the capacity on an older PC.

Toshiba P300 3TB 7200RPM 3.5-inch Hard Drive | Now £78 | Amazon

The price for this 3TB drive is impressive enough, but the increased 7200RPM speed is another big selling point too.

Seagate ST4000DM000 4TB 3.5-inch Hard Drive | Now £110.48 | Novatech

This is one of the cheapest 4TB PC hard drives we've seen for a while and should provide enough space for most users. Most other drives of this size start at about £135.

Toshiba X300 5TB 3.5-inch Extreme-Performance Hard Drive | Now £135 | Amazon

This speedy 7200RPM hard drive is excellent value if you're looking for a large 5TB capacity. If you need something that big though, maybe we can tempt you with the 6TB drive below instead?

Toshiba X300 6TB 3.5-inch Hard Disk Drive 7200RPM | Now £179.99 | Amazon

This Toshiba drive isn't a massive leap in price over the 5TB option above. Still not enough space though? That's ok, we have some even larger hard drive deals below.

Seagate IronWolf 10TB 3.5-inch hard drive deals
This brand new hard drive from Seagate has just been released and our very own Matt Hanson gave it a highly recommended 4.5/5 rating in his extensive appraisal. Prices are pretty high, but you can use our comparison chart below to track the latest prices if you’re after the best deal on this huge hard drive.

External hard drive deals

The Seagate drives in our comparison chart below are regular tennants on this page so we've included a range of the best prices for different sizes of their Expansion series of portable and desktop hard drives. Below these deals you'll find our other favourite external hard drive deals.

Maxtor M3 1TB USB 3.0 Slimline portable hard drive | Now £47.92 | Amazon

A great price for a portable drive with 1TB of space. This is currently the very cheapest 1TB option in our internal hard drive deals guide.

Seagate Backup Plus Slim 1TB USB 3.0 portable hard drive | Now £54.99 | Amazon

This stylish hard drive is available in multiple colours and is cheapest at Amazon today.

Transcend 1TB Military-Grade Shock Resistance Portable Hard Drive | Now £55.62 | Amazon

This 1TB USB 3.0 external drive is usually a bit pricier than the offers posted above, but it's had a tenner knocked off this week! It's able to withstand clumsy drops or getting bashed about a bit. If you need something that's going to travel with you a lot, this is certainly one to consider.

My Passport 2TB (Recertified) | Now £52.99 | WD

If you don't mind opting for a recertified model then you can save a lot on money on these 2TB external hard drives. There are multiple colours available and we think these would be a cheap way to upgrade the storage capacity of your PS4 or Xbox One.

Maxtor M3 2TB USB 3.0 Slimline Portable Hard Drive | Now £70 | Amazon

We haven't had a decent 2TB deal in while as the prices have been way too close to the 1TB or 3TB options. At this price though, this 2TB hard drive deal sits nicely between the other sizes.

Seagate Expansion 4TB Desktop USB 3.0 external hard drive | Now £107.32 | Amazon

This Seagate offer from Maplin is your next best option for a 4TB external hard drive, especially as Argos' offer for a similar drive last week has shot up by £10. This really should be plenty of space unless you're storing a lot of media files.

Seagate Expansion 5TB USB 3.0 external Hard Drive | Now £129.99 | Amazon

If the Toshiba deal above doesn't do it for you, you could opt for this Seagate drive, so maybe hang on for a discount. It's also listed as Xbox One compatible, which is very handy if you're still struggling with the constrictive default 500GB internal one.
