The thing about Prime Day is that it can be hard to sift through all the deals. I set out to find the best SSD offer I could and I've found myself torn between three that I want to share with you. The cheapest is the WD My Passport (1TB) SSD, which now costs $99 at Amazon. The discount is smaller than with the other options, but it's cheaper to begin with and a really solid option (pun intended).

Elsewhere, I've found some good savings on some of the best external hard drives from Samsung. Read on for details....

WD My Passport (1TB): $129 $99 at Amazon Save $30:

WD My Passport (1TB): $129 $99 at Amazon
Save $30: This is the smallest discount of the three SSDs on show here, but it's already the cheapest to begin with. And we really like this model, giving it a 4/5 star review. For just under $100 you get 1TB, and read speeds of up to 1050MB/s and write speeds of up to 1000MB/s.

Samsung T7 Shield SSD (2TB) $284 $142 at Amazon Save $200:

Samsung T7 Shield SSD (2TB) $284 $142 at Amazon
Save $200: This portable SSD is super compact, making it convenient to carry in a pocket, and it's very durable thanks to its rugged rubberised case. There are faster external SSDs – Samsung now also has the T9 (see below), which is excellent but costs over $150 more even with a Prime Day discount.

Samsung T9 Portable SSD (4TB) $549 $299 at Amazon Save $250:

Samsung T9 Portable SSD (4TB) $549 $299 at Amazon
Save $250: This Samsung external SSD deal is my top pick as the best Prime Day SSD deal. The long-awaited follow-up to the excellent T7 Shield (no, I have no idea what happened to the T8!) looks great, has a rugged build that's drop proof to 3 metres and provides transfer speeds of up to 2,000MB/s. The deal above is on the biggest capacity, but there are also smaller but very good deals on the 1TB and 2TB versions.
