Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days in October are ticking to a close, so you might want to be quick if you've been looking for storage solutions for photo and video work. There are some genuinely good deals about on memory cards and portable external SSDs, and they end today!

The 4TB Crucial X10, one of the portable SSDs that we most recommend is reduced by $156 from $395.99 to $239.99. And for a smaller capacity, the 1TB Samsung T9 is now well under $100. See the full details below.

The best Prime Day storage deals for photo and video

Save $156
Crucial by Micron X10 4TB Portable SSD: was $395.99 now $239.99 at Amazon

Although this doesn't have Crucial's 'Pro' tag, it's just as fast as the X10 Pro line, providing up to 2,100MB/s on a good laptop. That's the kind of speed you want in a great external SSD for video editing.

When we reviewed this drive, we gave it 4.5 stars, highlighting the solid, compact dust and splash-proof build and the transfer speed. This isn't the lowest price of the year – it was down to $219.99 on Prime Day in June, but a saving of 39% is very welcome.

There are discounts on the 1TB, 2TB and 8TB options too, but the 4TB has the biggest saving in percentage terms and is a great size for an external office back up.

UK deal: £264.43 £239.99 at Amazon

Samsung T9 1TB
Save $45
Samsung T9 1TB: was $139.99 now $94.99 at Amazon

For a smaller capacity, the best Prime Day portable SSD deal is on Samsung's ever-reliable T9. It's only very slightly slower than the Crucial X10 (above) at 2,000MB/s.

This is the drive I use myself as an everyday backup for passing photos and video from my camera at the end of a day shooting. Having used it on pretty much every trip I've made in the past 18 months, I can vouch 100% for its reliability.

ProGrade CFExpress Type B T9 1TB
Save $32.50
ProGrade CFExpress Type B T9 1TB: was $129.99 now $97.49 at Amazon

This is more of a niche product, but I was very happy to find this Prime Day CFexpress card deal. CFexpress cards are essential for shooting 4K or 8K video on a mirrorless camera like the Canon EOS R5 but cheaper ones can be prone to overheating and writing too slowly to keep up with high-resolution filming.

I've found ProGrade cards to be fast and reliable, while offering much better value than some better-known brands.

If you're looking for a quality SDXC card too, I recommend Sandisk Extreme Pro. The 256GB version is reduced by 21% from $44.99 to $34.99 at Amazon US.

UK deal: £120.99 £90.74 at Amazon
