The Western Digital My Passport SSD is the brand's most popular external hard drive, something we here at Creative Bloq know all too well, having witnessed several Black Fridays and Amazon Prime Days where huge deals on the SSD last a matter of hours. But it's not just about these two retail events. Western Digital My Passport SSD enjoys some decent discounts all through the year, so if you don't want to wait until Black Friday's November, you don't have to.

Although retailing at $134.99/£135 over at the Western Digital website, you shouldn't have to pay full price for the 1TB Western Digital SSD.
