Before the madness of the coming weekend of deals, Amazon has discounted a selection of SSDs across its marketplace, and some of the below models are discounted as much as 64%. For those wondering if this is a good time to buy an SSD, in general, yes, considering these prices.
But that is ultimately determined by your current storage solution. If you are looking to upgrade from an HDD or a SATA SSD to an NVMe M.2 drive, then this is a fantastic opportunity to snag a cheap M.2.
