As you well know, Amazon Prime Day is celebrated on July 11 and 12. These two days are very active, because there are a lot of offers, some of which are really interesting. This period is used by manufacturers and assemblers to sell stocks. We already know that new generations of products are usually launched between September and December.
To take advantage of the offers, you must sign up for Amazon Prime. This process is simple and is quite inexpensive. This allows us to save on shipping costs, access to the Prime Video catalog of video content and also to subscribe to Twitch channels. If you’ve never used it, you get one month free.
Don’t expect bargains
The price of SSDs has come down a lot in recent months. Right now we can find 1 TB SSD between 50 and 100 dollars, whether SATA or M.2. It’s hard for us to see these storage units with a better price.
Some units we might see scaled down a bit. THE 2 TB SSD they could get an additional 10-15% discount. Currently They are between 120-150 dollars, which is not a bad price for these units. Above all, models based on the PCIe 4.0 interface could drop in price.
Maybe if we see big discounts on the u4TB hard drives. These models start from 200 dollars for those who have the SATA interface and 250 dollars for the M.2. These are models that have plenty of room for price improvement, although supply is minimal.
No PCIe 5.0 drives in the market, the pressure of PCIe 4.0 drives is therefore minimal. Yes, the Gen4 based ones might come down a bit in price, especially the models with a passive heatsink.
We could still see some price adjustment in the uexternal SSD drives. These might have a relevant price drop due to the falling price of SSDs.
Regarding the mechanical hard drivesWe don’t expect anything. It is a residual product on the market whose paper has been highly relegated
Of course, don’t leave for tomorrow the SSD you can buy today
We must clarify that it is time to buy these units. Don’t wait to pay after the summer, because you risk having bad surprises. Although there is talk of price increases by the end of the year, these could be brought forward.
So you shouldn’t wait until tomorrow (or Prime Day) to buy your new storage unit. Remember that these storage solutions are essential to get the best possible performance from new systems. Starfield, for example, requires users to have an SSD drive. This has raised controversy, in a very artificial way, since for the rest of its purposes it cannot be run on many “old” computers.
