There are only a few hours left to shop Amazon Prime Day 2024, but it’s not too late to save big on external storage. Whether you need an extra large portable hard drive for backing up games and photos, or a rugged external SSD with fast read and write speeds, there are sales for everyone.

That includes SD cards and microSD, too, so if you need room on your Nintendo Switch or DSLR, you’re in luck. (And if you need an exceptionally fast internal NVMe drive for your PlayStation 5 or PC, the excellent WD_BLACK 2TB SN850P is on sale for $160.99 today, down from $229.99.)

When does Amazon Prime Day end?

The 2024 Amazon Prime Day sale ends at 3 AM Eastern Standard Time on July 18, or midnight on the West Coast. That means there are less than 9 hours left to stock up on storage and other electronics before the deals end.
