Nowadays, that isn’t the case. Call it manufacturing and shipping costs rising, inflation, or demand going down. Any of these reasons might be valid causes for prices going up from a business sense, but it makes things harder for shoppers. With so manyPrime Day PC dealsandPrime Day PS5 dealspopping up now, trying to gauge what something did cost before versus what it should cost now is next to impossible - it’s like trying to shoot a moving target while the person holding it constantly changes its size.
Thankfully,Prime Day gaming dealsare providing a bit of well-deserved clarity. I’ve scoured through the digital shelves, and as someone who reviews storage devices, I’m happy to say I’ve spotted some deals that are actually worth getting excited over. After my bargain-hunting patrol, I’ve come back with a list of great SSD deals you should consider buying this Prime Day.
Nextorage NEM-PA 1TB + $5 gift card|$149.99$69.99 at NeweggSave $80- This is the highest quality of SSD I’ve seen at this price in a long time, and it’s a deal I’d jump on straight away if I was shopping for an extra terabyte of space. It usually sits at $89 at Amazon, so you’re getting a massive saving here. Not only that, but you get a promotional gift card to put toward another deal at Newegg.

One of my earliest memories is playing SuperMario64 and wondering why the controller I held had three grips, but I only had two hands. Ever since I’ve been in love with video games and their technology. After graduating from Edinburgh Napier University with a degree in Journalism, I contributed to the Scottish Games Network and completed an Editorial Internship at Expert Reviews. Over the last decade, I’ve been managing my ownYouTube channelabout my love of games too. These days, I’m one of the resident hardware nerds at GamesRadar+, and I take the lead on our coverage of gaming PCs, VR, controllers, gaming chairs, and content creation gear. Now, I better stop myself here before I get talking about my favourite games like HUNT: Showdown, Dishonored, and Towerfall Ascension.Location: UK Remote
