Plenty of deals on portable SSDs and traditional HDDs have already vanished, but since some offers weren't inherent to the event itself, they're still floating around. You'll want to be quick, though, as it normally only takes a day or two for prices to shoot back up to norma♒l.
So, what Cyber Monday external hard drive deals are actually left? Well, I just spotted the 5TB WD Black P10 for , and Sandisk's protable 2TB drive is still down from $199.99. The pickings are naturally much slimmer right now, but that's exactly what's supposed 💮to happen seeing as the event ended o🅺n November 3, right?
The TLDR is that Cyber Monday external hard drive deals are officially over, but you'll find a few stragglers worth grabbing below. I've checked each SSD and HDD to make sure they're worth using with yo👍ur 🍌console and PC and are sitting at a record low priced.

Cyber Monday 𓃲external har🐼d drive deals: what to expect
For the most part, you'll find that most of the cheapest Cyber Monday external hard drive deals take the form of 1TB SSDs. While 500GB drives would traditionally represent the entry-level storage scene, capacity standꦗards are switching, so you'll find that larger options are available for less. Last year, we came across quite a few models for around the $50 mark, including the Crucial X6 for $49.99 at Best Buy and the Lexar SL200 for $47.95.
Where things will start to differ is when it comes to speed. Drives like the WD Black P40 will cost near double compared to their cheaper counterparts, but boast faster USB 3.2 connectivity and PCIe Gen 4 tech inside. This could be important if you want to run games straight off external storage using something like a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:gaming handheld, as you'll want to match internal drives oꦑ❀n specs as much as possible.
Speaking of which, you'll be wanting to eye up a specific sub-section of the external SSD market if you've got a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Steam Deck OLED. The idea is to find something small enough to not weigh down the handheld, and there were plenty of offers that check that box last year. Notable e♍ditions to watch for this year the the likes of the PNY RP60 and the Lexar SL500, both of which ꦕshould receive decent price cuts.
If it's sheer capacity you need, traditional HDDs are still a thing. You'll typically find 4TB portable drives for cheaper during Black Friday that are still considered "portable." Beyond that, you're looking at data banks designed to hold masses of data like the Seagate Expansion 8TB external hard drive. You're🌱 talking $159.59 ꦏfor that model, but with any luck, we'll see it draw closer to the $100 mark on Cyber Monday.
Should I get SSD or HDD for PS5?
SSD is the supeജrior type of storage. Its read and write speeds are enormously faster, and if you want quicker transfer times for content creation or gaming, this is absolutely the type of external drive you should seek out. Most of the time, portable SSDs are a💜 lot more expensive, which is our only real caveat to recommending them, but if you can find them cheap for Black Friday, definitely go for these over HDD.
Having said that, HDD still has its uses. If you're buying in🌌 larger capacities or you don't really see the need for faster speeds and transfer times, HDD can be a great backup. It's also cheap as anything, especially during Black Friday. Be wary, though, if these drives get damaged or have to put up with falls, they c﷽an be an absolute nightmare to try and fix. On the whole, external SSDs tend to be a bit more foolproof.
