Luckily, there's a fix for that problem, and it's an SSD — either internal or external. These SSD storage expanders are maintaining a big presence in the days leading up to Black Friday 2024, with many of them sitting at deep discounts at the time of this writing.

Everyone needs fast storage and a solid state drive (SSD) provides just that. You can get internal SSDs for your laptop or PC to reduce boot up times, or you could pick a good external SSD for high-speed backups.

The best Black Friday deals drop prices on SSDs and HDDs from reliable brands. A good discount starts around 15 to 20 percent—and a great deal will be 30 percent or more. Typically, the bigger bargains are higher-capacity SSDs (4TB or higher).
