[Revo]

 

 

Today, March 31st, is World Backup Day — not a holiday or date I've traditionally celebrated, but with great deals being offered for a variety of storage solutions, I wouldn't mind seeing more nominated hardware days like this.

One of the real stand-outs we found is this fantastic price on the WD Black SN850X 4TB for $299 on Amazon(opens in new tab), which brings the cents per gigabyte rating down to $0.07 per GB — that is the cheapest this drive has ever been by a significant margin. It's not often you get all the capacity of a superfast 4TB SSD in one piece of hardware for a price like this. Have a look at our review of the WD Black  SN850X(opens in new tab) for more details and specifications on one of the best SSDs(opens in new tab) available.

Another great deal SSD from Western Digital is the 2TB WD SN850 with included heatsink is $169 from Amazon(opens in new tab). Reduced from $199, you save $30 on this officially licensed PlayStation 5 version of the po[CENSORED]r drive. If you're looking to upgrade the storage on the Sony PS5, then you can rest assured that this model will fit the tiny enclosure inside of the PS5 console and avoid thermal throttling with the aid of the built-in heatsink. 

To round off the best storage deals we spotted today, the 20TB Western Digital WD Elements external HDD has been reduced to $279(opens in new tab) at Amazon. The rather large external enclosure harbors 20TBs of storage that can connect to your PC via a USB-3.0 cable for simple plug-and-play usage.
