The Memorial Day Sale is almost over – yep, it went by in a flash, and still nobody has beaten this epic Memorial Day hard drive deal. The good news? It's still going. Our top buy as the best Memorial Day hard drive deal of 2022 is still available getting you almost half price on the SanDisk Extreme 1TB SSD – reduced by $120 from $249.99 to $129.99 at B&H Photo.
While the deal was scheduled to end on Sunday, it was still running when we last checked, offering a little more time to grab fast, spacious storage for a phenomenal price. Remember, this is a super-solid SSD – not a traditional HDD with moving parts. That means faster and more reliable storage, and from a reliable brand too. SanDisk's Extreme range offers good build and fast read/write speeds of up to 1050 and 1000 MB/s. They come with USB-C connection, and there's an adapter in case you need type-A.
You can still sort yourself out for even more rapid speeds too, as B&H has 1TB option in SanDisk's faster Extreme Pro range slashed by $100 to $199.99. This is our favourite SSD on the market, as you'll see in our pick of the best external hard drives, offering speeds of up to 2000 MB/s.
And if you need to transfer huge amounts of data – more than 1TB, B&H also has a whopping $360 off the SanDisk Extreme 4TB SSD, now $439.99. Of course for that kind of size an SSD is always going to be pricy and you might want to consider a traditional HDD instead, for which the best deal we've found is $65 off the WD Elements 6TB desktop HDD – now $124.99 at Amazon.

The best Memorial Day hard drive deals
SanDisk Extreme Portable 1TB SSD: $249.99 $129.99 at B&H Photo
Save $120: This solid-state drive from SanDisk hits quite a sweet spot, offering enough storage space for most people's needs, decent transfer speeds, durable build, and, right now, phenomenal value for an SSD.
SanDisk Extreme Portable 4TB: $799.99 $439.99 at B&H Photo
Save $360: If you need tons of space, 4TB should probably do you. This kind of size for a zippy SSD is never going to come cheap, but we reckon this is the best price you're likely to find at the moment.
SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable: $299.99 $199.99 at B&H Photo
Save $100: If you need the faster read/write speeds of SanDisk's pro range, B&H also has a very decent $110 off the 1TB model and even bigger savings on the 2TB and 4TB models.
Samsung T5 2TB Portable SSD: $249.99 $209.99 at B&H Photo
Save $40: Samsung's T5 SSDs don't offer read/write speeds as fast as the SanDisk models above, coming in at 540MB/s. But they strike a good-value middle ground for those who want an SSD for better reliability than a traditional HDD but aren't too concerned about speed.
WD 5TB My Passport Ultra for Mac: $164.99 $129.99 at Amazon
Save $35: Don't need the speed and reliability (and cost!) of an SSD? If you've need a lot of space to transfer files but don't want to break the bank, you can go for a traditional HDD. And this is the best Memorial Day HDD deal we've seen, getting you 21% off a massive 5TB. There are discounts on smaller configurations and the PC version too.
WD Elements 6TB Desktop HDD: $189.99 $124.49 at Amazon
Save $65.50: And if you're looking for an external HDD that will live on your desk rather one you can easily slip into a bag, Amazon also has a massive 35% off this huge 6TB option, also from the ever reliable WD. Again, there are Memorial Day discounts on smaller configurations too.
