The AI boom has greatly driven up prices for PC components like SSDs, RAM, and graphics cards. But relief is in sight, as retailers like Best Buy and Amazon are offering some of the steepest discounts I've seen in months on popular storage options like Western Digital, Samsung, and SanDisk.
Ahead of Memorial Day, you can save hundreds (and sometimes thousands) on high-capacity SSDs for upgrading your PC, laptop, PS5, or Xbox Series X|S console. And to help you find the very best discounts on top-rated SSDs, I've put together a list of some of the steepest markdowns on offer.
