Memorial Day storage deals: how these SSD discounts stack up
Memorial Day storage deals are temporary discounts on internal NVMe and portable SSDs that cut the cost of high-speed, high-capacity digital storage for gaming, creative work, backups, and everyday files, often offering the best price-per-terabyte buyers will see for months. This sale wave hits both PCIe Gen4 NVMe drives and portable USB-C SSDs, so you can upgrade a desktop, expand a laptop, or carry project files in your pocket. The Samsung 990 PRO deal on Amazon drops the 2TB NVMe model from USD 639.99 (approx. RM2,940) to USD 389.99 (approx. RM1,790), while a 4TB variant is 15% off at USD 940 (approx. RM4,320) with stock running out. External options join the portable SSD sale, from Corsair’s Mac-focused EX400U 2TB to compact Samsung T7 and SanDisk Extreme drives, all offering faster transfers than hard drives and better NVMe SSD price-to-performance ratios.
Samsung 990 PRO NVMe: high-speed storage for gaming and workstations
For desktop and workstation builders, the Samsung 990 PRO line anchors the biggest Memorial Day storage deals on PCIe Gen4. The 2TB model is down from USD 639.99 (approx. RM2,940) to USD 389.99 (approx. RM1,790), a USD 250 (approx. RM1,150) cut that brings its NVMe SSD price back in line after recent hikes. According to WePC, this drive reaches sequential read speeds up to 7,450 MB/s, cutting game load times and speeding large file transfers for 1440p and 4K builds. Heavy multitaskers can look at the 4TB Samsung 990 PRO deal, now 15% off at USD 940 (approx. RM4,320) with only one unit left, ideal if you want a single, large OS and games drive. Per-terabyte, the 2TB offers stronger value, while the 4TB prioritizes capacity and fewer drives over outright savings.
Corsair EX400U 2TB: a Mac-friendly speed boost at over 60% off
If you live in Apple’s ecosystem, the Corsair SSD discount on Best Buy targets you directly. The Corsair EX400U 2TB external SSD is 62% off, bringing the price down to USD 330 (approx. RM1,520), which ZDNET calls “one of the best external SSD discounts” seen in a long time. Connected over USB-C or Thunderbolt 4, it delivers read speeds up to 4,000 MB/s and write speeds up to 3,600 MB/s, fast enough for 4K video offloading, raw photo libraries, and large program installs. With 2TB on tap, the price-per-terabyte sits at about USD 165 (approx. RM760), attractive for plug-and-play storage you can move between iMac, MacBook, iPad, and even iPhone via MagSafe for on-the-go shooting. Add Corsair’s SSD Toolbox for health monitoring and secure erase, and you have a portable SSD sale that doubles as a long-term workflow upgrade.
Samsung T7 and SanDisk Extreme: pocket-size portable SSD sales
For students, freelancers, and anyone who travels, two compact portable SSDs stand out in these Memorial Day storage deals. Amazon has the Samsung T7 Portable SSD 1TB at USD 234.99 (approx. RM1,080), a 15% discount on a drive rated for real-world read/write speeds up to 1,050/1,000 MB/s. That makes it a strong portable SSD sale pick for game libraries, remote-work backups, or 4K media projects. SanDisk’s 1TB Extreme Portable SSD is down to USD 231.58 (approx. RM1,070), about USD 29 (approx. RM130) off and reportedly its lowest Amazon price yet, with transfer speeds up to 2,000 MB/s. Both drives weigh little, fit easily in a bag or pocket, and offer USB-C connectivity. Here, price-per-terabyte hovers around USD 232–235 (approx. RM1,070–RM1,090), so your choice comes down to preferred brand, speed profile, and whether you value Samsung’s AES 256-bit hardware encryption or SanDisk’s extra performance headroom.
Which SSD should you buy? Price-per-TB and use-case tips
Taken together, these Memorial Day storage deals cover most scenarios, and comparing price-per-terabyte helps you match the right drive to your needs. The Samsung 990 PRO 2TB offers the lowest NVMe SSD price in this roundup at USD 389.99 (approx. RM1,790), or about USD 195 (approx. RM900) per terabyte, ideal for high-end gaming PCs and content creation rigs that need maximum Gen4 speed. The Corsair EX400U 2TB lands at around USD 165 (approx. RM760) per terabyte, trading slightly lower capacity cost for external flexibility on Macs and iPads. Portable SSDs like the Samsung T7 1TB at USD 234.99 (approx. RM1,080) and SanDisk Extreme 1TB at USD 231.58 (approx. RM1,070) cost more per terabyte but win on pocket-size convenience. Use NVMe internals for OS and games, and pick a portable SSD sale for mobile projects, backups, and fast external libraries.
