Black Friday is coming, and you know what that means. Black Friday SSD deals, baby! If you’re still using an old HDD, it’s time to upgrade to a speedy SSD. Or perhaps games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Elden Ring are simply taking up too much space on your current SSD. Whatever the case, these discount prices on lightning-quick SSDs and gigantic HDDs should not be overlooked come Black Friday weekend.
NVMe SSDs are the drives you want inside your gaming PC (and your modern games console). They make stellar boot drives and improve your overall Windows experience, but they may also profoundly affect gaming thanks to the imminent arrival of DirectStorage (opens in new tab), which greatly reduces load times. Before shopping, you’ll want to make sure your motherboard has the requisite M.2 slots for an NVMe SSD—as soon as you sort that out, you can take advantage of the deals we found.Â
